Tis the season,....
We kept the momentum going after Robert left. In fact, that same week we went to a dinner event where a Hawaiian choir performed Christmas music in Hawaiian. It was very beautiful. The food was excellent and they even got gifts from SANTA!
We took photos in front of every tree (including the PALM tree). I even got into one of them.
We were chosen to be the OFFICIAL tree lighting family for Schofield. It was such a great night. We got there thinking we were helping to light the tree. Little did we know we were the only family doing it. The girls wore their matching candycane PEACE sign shirts and we hit the button to light up the entire post. I had never been able to attend. I was always at school the night of the event so it was extra special to me.
Cannon got transferred to a NEW class to get away from the little bullies and crazy kids. I was SO excited to move!....She is now the top of her class. I KNOW she was before but the teacher was too busy and distracted to care!
She is amazing her teacher with her creative writing, great reading skills (in fact a mom messaged me on facebook to tell me her son was really impressed with cannon..WOW!), and her kind manners and willingness to help others.
The girls we in a live nativity for Christmas eve. It was a little bit funny because all the girls were going to be angels when all of a sudden I have a CAMEL coming up to me. Cannon decided she wanted to be a CAMEL!...So our replay on the angel Christmas card was a bust....LOVE her as a camel.
My sweet monkey made it very clear that she could write her own songs better with a guitar...so she is now learning the guitar, Thorin plays the Ukelele and some day Cannon will get in on the act....or sing.
Thorin was getting too big for all the bikes we own.....so she got a BIG girl bike. Can't wait for the rainy season to stop!
Cannon was stylin in her Memere's jewels. I had gathered a few pieces in 2008 and finally gifted them to the girls. Pepere gave them jewelry boxes to store them in...good call Pepere!
I took photos of all the trees around our house this year. The funniest thing was when we splurged on a BIG tree. We got the 7 foot tree. When we assembled the trees (all 6 of them) the girls could not figure out why we didn't put up our OLD big tree (the 5 foot one)....When we told them we did....they ran to the tree and said no wonder we needed a new tree...."this one is ridiculous!"
At the end of the year I did a 1st birthday, belated 10th birthday and 8.5th birthday photo shoot. I also included a Christmas photo and some fun sister shots. I love how my girls are such helpful sisters. I am not saying they are NICE ALL the time....but when it is needed, they are there for one another. Sorenna is ALWAYS checking the food for any allergens to keep Cannon safe. Thorin is always keeping the girls out of trouble with her reasoning and logic. Cannon is willing to help find missing items and fill in when the girls have homework and can't get a chore done. I am so happy to have 3 girls so they always have at least ONE sis to lean
on.
FAVORITE PHOTOS of CANNON for the year!
