Christmas 2019

Holiday Concerts 2019

The holidays brought music concerts we were able to attend that the kiddos performed in. 

Graham started playing the saxophone this past summer with the intermediate school.  They put on a great show!

Turner Baggett, Graham, and Drew Forch.  Band and neighborhood buddies!!

Ben participated in the stake children's choir for church.  They had many, many rehearsals over a few months.  We were so proud of him and loved seeing how much he enjoyed singing the songs.

Lucy is in chamber choir this year at Radford High School.  She auditioned for it last year and they've had numerous performances throughout the year.  Their holiday concert was amazing!  It was in an old cathedral in downtown Honolulu.  

I just love these pictures that her friend took the afternoon of the concert while they waited for it to begin.  I'm sooooo not ready for this girl to leave for USU this summer.  

November-December Misc

Our last pack meeting with the Halawa Ward.  The church won't sponsor Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts starting at the end of the year.  Benny loved cub scouts!  He may continue with the pack in our neighborhood.  I don't know about Graham, though.  He's hasn't been as big of a fan.  

Sully lost his first tooth!  Love that big grin!

On December 7th, the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, many of the ships in port here did a float by with the flag flying high.  I was able to catch a few pictures right in our own backyard.  So much history right here.  Felt blessed and proud to be an American.  

Graham started with basketball!  He played on the Aiea Intermediate team as well as an MWR team though the base.  He caught the bug and has been shooting hoops and practicing ever since.  It's been so fun to watch him play.  He's got a lot of hustle in him!  He's quite a bit taller than most of his opponents and teammates.  We'll see how long it takes for them to catch up.  

Here's Sully with two of his favorite buddies, Miles Bernhardt and Konale Gomes.  Konale brought a note to Sully to say goodbye.  He moved to Kansas with his family later that week.  Such a hard part of this military life we're in.  He still FaceTimes with him occasionally.  He was in his kindergarten class and the two of them got very close.
