Savannah's performance of "It's A Wonderful Life" for John Glenn Middle School!

She had about 1 1/2 minutes of fame including 1 line, but managed to get on stage as a "self appointed" extra throughout the whole play. No lack of confidence in this little Hampton!

Oh Christmas Tree

I really look forward to picking our tree out together every December.  This year we waited until Devin was back from Cal Poly to keep the tradition alive and this photo perfectly captured the event. We are not even close to the Griswold Family when it comes to picking out our tree...in fact it results in a short trip to the local Home Depot to see what has been trucked in from the Northwest.  However, we do manage to have a pretty good time and Gerald has mustard up quite a bit of patience through the years as he puts up with the silliness. 

Clark puts it best, "Little full lot of sap". 

Maui

 Gerald and I were able to attend this years Polaris trip and it just so happened to be at one of our favorite places...The Grand Wailea on Maui.  We've been a few times before so it felt a little like coming "home" when we stepped foot on the resort.  It's really an amazing place... weather was delightful, food was scrumptious, sun was healing and relaxing was needed! I think the highlight for both Gerald and I would have been the day we chose to do a little exploring on our own with Troy and Sarah. The day started out at the Surfing Goat Dairy and ended with a hike to Twin Falls.  As you can see in these photo's, Gerald was completely in his element and me?...well, I'm always happy to be outdoors enjoying whatever scenery I'm surrounded by!
