This is Big Papa's sweet note on the back of the kitchen. ADORABLE!!!
More to come later of our Christmas 2010 memories. We have family coming into town today from Canada! We are looking forward to some more family memories the next couple of days. Then, New Years fun and I am sure we will just sleep the following days away. Or at least I will. :)
My parents with their grandbabies...Aubrey Rose and Jedidiah
Three generations...my dad, brother and Jed

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." 
We decided to forego the nap on the last day. Obviously she was happy about that decision! :)
This was Aubrey's routine every time she went down the slide. She LOVED to go head first, then swim to the rope wall and check out everybody and everything. And then go right back for another round. :)
For our last evening we walked to Whaler's Village and ate at Hula Grill and then we couldn't pass up a little more shopping before heading home the next day.

Thank you Big Papa and Mimi, for loving our little girl so sweetly like you do and for blessing all of us with such a WONDERFUL trip with so many special family memories. We LOVE you guys!!
We can't wait for more fun in the sun next time! Next time Uncle Bradley HAS to come! We missed him too much! Forget work and school! :)
Even though she was a HUGE fan of the pool and the sand, we still have to work on the whole ocean thing. She was definitely NOT a fan of crashing waves. Hey, we have come a LONG way since those days she was not a fan of the sand or the grass. Baby steps. :)
She did however, make friends everywhere she went. She called this friend Pink. This little girl was 5 and she had a pink swimsuit and a pink lifevest. Hence, the creativity of the name. :)
Relaxing on the hammock is kind of a decieving picture since there was very little of sitting still. This girl was a busy bee all week calling everything her own. "My pool. My beach. Aubrey's boat. Aubrey's toys." You get the picture. She was in heaven, loving life.
That evening we went to dinner in Lahaina.

This brings us to Thanksgiving Day. All week we had been prepping Aubrey Rose we were going to go on the SugarCane Train. Linda was so sweet to call in advance and make sure of the details. We showed up Thanksgiving Day to ride the train. CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAY. Aubrey Rose was BEYOND sad. (We went the next day though, to make up for it.)
We made the best of the day and went into Lahaina for some shopping.
and eating at Cheeseburger in Paradise
and of course some more shopping!
That night we ate at the Pineapple Grill.
