I found this little lady dressed all in pink ruffles standing in the rain outside the craft store entrance of Stuart Plaza in Pearl city.
The yellow Hibiscus is Hawaii's State Flower, but the Hibiscus comes in many colors. Every time I pick one as my favorite, another comes along and steals my heart.
Not all flowers are created equal!
Ala Moana Mall is all dressed up for Christmas. Santa's Workshop is set up near center stage and for a mere $30.00 you can have your child's portrait snapped on Santa's lap. And don't forget to drop $7.00 on that ten minute train ride. It just wouldn't do to leave with any money in your pocket -- you wouldn't feel as though you'd been properly malled.
We put 16 preschool kids on that train. They loved it. Sometimes one has to spend a little money on foolish things because they bring joy. However, all pictures with Santa were taken through the view finders of the teachers' cameras!
