The Day after Christmas we were given a great gift from the Rose side of the Family this year to enjoy a week in Hawaii. We went to Oahu and stayed at the Ko Olina Beach Resort. It was a beautiful condo overlooking the Ocean. We had beautiful weather the whole time we were there and had lots of fun with the family. We enjoyed driving in our convertible mustang around the island, swimming in the pool and beach lagoons at our condo, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hanauma Bay, The North Shore shrimp shack and shaved ice, and the Dole Pineapple Factory. Lots of time was also spent relaxing on the balcony of the condo reading and late night wii games with the family. It was great to soak in the sun in paradise and get in one last vacation before our little guy comes this March. Thank you Mom and Dad Rose for a wonderful family vacation and Christmas gift. Thomas and I have been very blessed this past year and are excited for the changes to come in 2010 with starting our family and graduating from Law School. We hope that 2010 will bring joy and hapiness to the rest of our family and friends this year too! Happy New Year!
Travel Day...The crew in blue is ready to head to Hawaii. We are greeted in paradise with beautiful weather and ride in style to our lovely resort in our mustang convertibles.
At the Dole Pineapple Factory we rode on the Pineapple Express and had delicious pineapple sorbet. YUM!
A Day at the PCC. No one will forget how Thomas rocked the crowd in Tonga with his chanting and drum skills!
Relaxing around the condo and our views.
North Shore island shacks. Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and Matsumoto for Hawaiian shaved ice. Also a little Star Wars reenactment from Thomas and Pat entertained us all.
A day at Hanauma Bay.

What a beautiful place. Glad you got to get one last trip in before the baby. It's a lot harder to find time to go on vacations with little ones.
You can always count on Thomas being the star of the show huh?
Great Pictures!!! We'll have to get the video of Thomas from Ashleigh so you can post that!
I would LOVE to see the video of Thomas! It looks like you had a fun time. The pictures are gorgeous. And I am officially jealous!
I'm sure you realized warm weather is overrated and decided you want to live in Minnesota forever, right?
So glad you had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect. It would be so hard to go back to the freezing temps of Minn. Can't wait to see the video of Thomas and see what he is up to now!! LUVS
Looking at all these pictures just reminds me how much I LOVE Hawaii and so badly want to go back. Nic has never been! Well, what a fun vacation! What do your blue shirts say? I could not read them.
On the back it said Roses Get Cast Away with a cartoon sketch of all the grandkids on the beach. On the front left corner was the islands of Hawaii with Christmas 2009-2010 and our code names. My code name is Flossy!
