Our family celebrates the wonderful birth of Jesus!

Mr. B's birthday :o)
48 years ago... the Botelho's Hawaiian Home was blessed with a big (10 lbs. 4.5 oz), beautiful, bouncing baby boy!
Hope you all have a blessed, blessed time with those you love!

Merry Christmas Maria! Hope your family had a fabulous time celebrating not only Christmas but the gift of Mr. B!
I loved the music in your video! We actually sang Mele Kalikimaka in our sing along this year at school. The kids loved it. But the 12 days was certainly unique. Never heard that version before.
Hope you have time to enjoy your family this weekend.
Wishing you a prosperous new year. Love all your smiles!
Merry Christmas Maria. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. Everyone loved their drawings. Thank you so much!!
Oh how nice that your hubby shares a birthday with Jesus. No wonder he is such a nice guy. You do have a lovely family and I hope you all have Christmas blessings and enjoy a great holiday season....Christine
Merry Christmas Maria!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. And happy birthday to Mr. B. I loved your slide show Maria. You are getting very talented and creative with this. I loved the music, captions and old photos. Tinsel on the tree; I remember when my family used that to decorate too.
Sending you a blog hug,
Debbie

I had a great Christmas. We even had a big snow for the first time in many years. I love all your family pictures today. You have such a lovely family. I appreciated my card very much. With your busy schedule, it really meant a lot to me. My grand daughter was overwhelmed by your work of Layton. She cried and cried and said that was the best gift she had ever had. My son and wife were very pleased and amazed at your work. Will send pictures when they hang them. Thank you so much for everything and looking forward to more great blogging visits.
Maria...what beautiful photo's. I just found your blog on "Beyond My Garden Gate" and Mele Kalikimuka caught my eye. That is my litte Pom's registered name as she was a Christmas present on Christmas five years ago from my husband who has since passed away. I call here "Mele" and she is beautiful.
I love Hawaii..my daughter lived there for many years and I used to fly over and spend time with her.
What a gorgeous family you have!

Happy birthday to your hubby, enjoyed seeing him as a little boy! Thank you for sharing the gorgeous family pictures and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My husband grew up in AR, and that is where Christmas is. I grew up in a warmer climate of Texas.
The lazy river type rides are my faves.
Hope Mr B had a great birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday! Gorgeous family :)

Could your family be any more beautiful??????
Loved those pictures! And Happy Belated Birthday to your husband. I loved their outfits growing up. I was thinking to myself how it's cute that their mom matched them, and then I read what you wrote about her sewing their clothes. That's awesome!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. You have a lovely one and I adored the baby book of your hubby :) My hubby is Hawaiian, just a quarter, but heis very proud of his heritage.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I enjoyed meeting you! You have a lovely family. Happy birthday to your hubby. My daughter's birthday is one week before Christmas. She still complains about it.
Looks like a wonderful Christmas! Great pictures, beautiful family! Happy New Year, friend!

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to Mr. B! LOVED the international Christmas postcards! and love your blog! Thanks for finding mine! Looking forward to getting to know you through the bloggy world!
Happy Birthday Mr. B! So glad your beautiful family had a wonderful Christmas. Ma GOD richjly bless you in the New Year.
Yes, they are good for hiding that aren't they, lol! Have a wonderful New Year!
Hi! You have a very nice Christmas greeting here. It's always nice to meet another Christian online. Thanks for your comment on my snowy photo. It's good for the plants, but I hope winter goes by quickly.
My husband and I visited the Outer Banks area of North Carolina, June of 2007. It was the only time we've seen an ocean, and we both were in awe of it. If we could take my parents, our 2 adult kids, daughter-in-law and grandson with us, we'd love to move to North or South Carolina, a couple hours from the ocean.
God bless you as we celebrate the arrival of 2010.
I am glad you had a wonderful holiday! You all look so happy in your family picture, what a great one to remember this year with.
Thanks for coming by, Maria. Happy New Year!...Christine
