Here are some pictures from our time in Hawaii!! Yep, you heard me right... we all just got back from an amazing week in HAWAII. :)
Damian's dad called a few months ago, inviting us out to visit him on O'ahu. We had a wonderful time hanging out on the beach, playing in the hotel's pools (the kids were super excited about the pool with the water slides), driving around the island, eating Poke, and enjoying the view of the ocean from our 29th floor balcony. It was such a special time, and we were even more blessed to have Raylee with us.

^Looking down on the pools... that's where they did the Friday Night Fireworks, so we got a front row seat^
^A blurry happy baby face. She loved everything about our trip.^
So there it is! We all got to go to Hawaii together as a family. And we returned in time to have Thanksgiving with Raylee before she returned to North Carolina. After a trip like that, we had much to be thankful for. :)
