Mele Kalikimaka

It's Christmas time in Hawaii!!!  This week Brandon had his school program at the Cannon Activities Center on the campus. It's a pretty big deal here. There were probably close to 3000 people in attendance. Each class did a song and dance followed by the grand finale, the lighting of the Christmas lights on campus, and of course, a visit from Santa.

The next day, the grade school did their fundraiser "walk-a-thon" and Brandon ran (not walked) 30 laps followed by a piece of pizza!!!
Here is Brandon pointing at the door to his classroom.

We also finished our unpacking and hung the Christmas lights on our house. We're are starting to feel more settled and ready for Christmas.

We also thought we would add a picture of our neighbor's house. They decorate all their trees with these huge ornaments so every tree in their yard is a Christmas tree (except for the banana trees).
We also had a wonderful visit from some friends from Colorado Springs, Kent and Jen Carlson. It was fun to visit with them and catch up on what is going on back in Colorado...thanks for the visit!!!
So, Mele Kalikimaka to everyone. Hope your having a great Christmas season.
