December Randoms

Before I get into all of our Christmas festivities, here are some photos from the first part of the month :-)

 

Our little man is chunking up!



Selfie for Daddy :-)

While Daddy was in Virginia for training, the boys and I enjoyed cruising around the base :)

 

Brothers

Hanging out on Mommy & Daddy's bed early in the morning (and for some reason neither one of them have bottoms on...)

 

Snuggling with Mommy

Father Sal is the head chaplain for the Hawaii region, so once a quarter he flies over from Oahu and says mass on the beach for us!

Daredevil

 First time in the Bumbo :-)

 We had to stop halfway through our hour drive home from Lihue for a milk break ;-)

Noah wanted his picture taken with his new haircut

Out for a walk with his blanket that Aunt Shari made!!!

Now that Lucas has chunked up a bit, his dimples are popping out!

Cheesy boy waiting at the airport for Aunt CiCi to arrive

Beautiful sunset at Shenanigans

Noah enjoying the box our Christmas present from Grandma J came in

Closing himself in the box!

On my last hike with Heidi (she made me take this photo!)

Daddy and Lucas hanging out at the beach

November Photo Blast

Trying to play catch-up on the blog, so here are a few snapshots from the month of November!

Noah wanted to take a picture in his favorite store: Costco!



(It might be a sign you live on a small island when your son's favorite store is Costco...haha)

Lucas with his bestie Ethan

 Ethan is about 4 weeks older than Lucas



 

Looking like Grandpa Bruce in this photo!

This is what happens when you don't take a nap at school: you are cranky and get sent to timeout, where you proceed to fall asleep :-)

Brothers :-)

 

Future football player???

 (we are kind of hoping not...haha)

Lucas hanging out on the beach during Mommy's Friday morning beach workout

Silly boy!

Noah paddling in his canoe :-)

 It must be exhausting to be the father of two boys ;-)

Cherie, Justin, Ely & Lucas (Noah hiding in the background)

Thanksgiving

Whoohoo, it's almost February and I'm finally posting pictures of Lucas's first Thanksgiving, haha!

This year, our good friends Justin & Cherie flew over from Oahu to spend Thanksgiving with us.  Our very first Thanksgiving as a married couple was spent over at their house in Jacksonville, so it was fun to get to celebrate with them again!

We had a Thanksgiving potluck dinner up on the berm with several of our good friends. The weather was beautiful, we ate turkey while watching the waves crash on the beach, and the food was delicious!!!

Noah's school hosted a Thanksgiving lunch on Wednesday for the parents :-)

His class dressed up as Native Americans (not to be confused with their Halloween sailor costumes ;-)

The Toddler and Pre-K classes singing a few songs



Our Thanksgiving turkey :-D

Lucas's reaction to finding out he wasn't going to actually get to eat any turkey ;-)

We have so much to be thankful for this year, including a gorgeous sunset and our first whale spotting of the season on Thanksgiving Day!

 

Happy 1st Thanksgiving Lucas!
