What a crazy year we’ve had!  As many of you know, we moved from our beautiful home of Colorado Springs to the tropical land of Hawaii. We’ve spent some time seeing many of the family friendly sights and getting used to our new environment. It’s been quite a change!

The Highlights of 2010

-          Paula, Lexi, and Carissa flew out with Grandma Leavitt to visit Tom, Amanda, and Lucy in Connecticut. Finally got to see the NYC scene, and had fun spending time together.

-          Ed graduated from Tech School in Mississippi (March) and we all took off to Hawaii soon thereafter.

-          Carissa turned the big 1 in March. She continues to learn all kinds of things from her big sister, much to the dismay of her parents !

-          Lexi turned 3 in June and is very excited to finally be going to primary. She likes to be the main decision maker of the family, and anything that has to do with playing outside.

-          Moved twice this year, and are not planning on moving again until we go back to the states in 2013. J

-          We celebrated 4 awesome years of marriage!

-          Paula’s parents came for a visit for her birthday. We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa!

-          We were able to attend the rededication of the Laie Hawaii temple this past November, and are excited to have a working temple close by once more!

-          Celebrating our first real Mele Kalikimaka… It’s funny that I (Paula) miss the snow so much seeing as I’ve spent more Christmases without it, but it’s just weird now to be running around in shorts and t-shirts ! J

We hope you’ve had a great year! We miss all our friends and family, but are making the most of our time here!(not that we wouldn’t gladly welcome visitors J) Be sure to visit our blog to see the crazy and fun times of our little family: eddieandpaula.blogspot.com

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Eddie, Paula, Lexi, and Carissa Thompson
