I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

We all flew to Utah on Christmas. On Sunday, as we were leaving church, it started to snow. Kainoa pointed it out first. Even though he'd never seen snow before in person, he knew what it was. So when we got back to Auntie Ruthies, we were excited to get bundled up in our California snow gear and stomped around. Great photo opp :)

Chad and Nisha drove to Utah from Idaho, where they spent Christmas. Danica and Shaun were in Utah from Hawaii. So, we were super exicted to all get together and have all 5 cousins play, play, play!

This is pretty in pink, the only girl cousin... Miss Melyana Bee! And her not so little brother, cutest cheeks of the family...
Mr. Ace! So cute!
Here's the blondest little Hawaiian of the family with the cutest faces... Aukai!!
Now we're still sunny So-Cal Beach Lovers at heart, but we have to say,

the snow blanketed landscape is beautiful :)

We took advandtage of the snow fall...and thanks to the family in Utah, borrowed some sledding gear and hit the small slope on the side of the highway. Ski resort caliber or not, we had a blast. Kainoa couldn't get enough. Love the snow memories...
My favorite little snow buddies...
Love the cousins... Fun Fun in the Snow!
The Always Classic Snow Angel... And of Course we all can't get together without attempting family photos.

So starting top left and going clockwise:
Mama and Papa, the Michigan Ridgeways,
the California Ridgeways & The Hawaii Kauihous :) Now with 5 little ones under 5, the big group shot is a little tricky...
If I was Chad, I could photoshop wizard it into an amazing photo,

but I'm not...So take your pick,

each person has at least one good face in at least one pic...

But we got so much love anyway... Ohana is Forever
