Although we were blessed with having 2 Christmas days, I was soooooooooooooooooo tired! From Japan to Oahu, then Oahu to Hilo, then Hilo to Oahu the next evening… I’m still tired! Haha! Both Christmas days were full of blessings! There is so much to be thankful for this year… so many little things, and so many special things, like health, happiness and most of all my niece! Christmas is always special, but this year it was double the blessings, double the love!
~So thankful for 2 Christmas days!

Christmas Eve Concert!
Here we are in Hiratsuka at this beautiful church for the last show! It was a beautiful end to all of the concerts. It was Christmas Eve, very cold, and all I wished for was SNOW! It didn’t happen… but it was still very cozy in Japan, so I was thankful!

Christmas with Uncle Willie K and Jaye!
Hugs and Honis booth at the concert!
It was some kind of feeling to share the stage with Uncle Willie K and Jaye! This was the beginning of an amazing series of concerts… they are nothing short than spectacular! It was such an honor for me to be there with them. I would like to thank so many people who made this concert a memorable experience.
Thanks to Ohi and Scot, who powered through this whole week with me. I can’t forget to thank Tetsu and Michiyo for ALWAYS helping me! You both are wonderful and I can’t thank you enough! To all the students that were at the concert, so much love to all of you! To Heco and Yuiko, thank you so much for everything and most of all for keeping Ohi warm! :) Thanks to Seiko for EVERYTHING… even for feeding us! Thanks to Kayoko for always being there for Hugs and Honis! To everyone who made this moment possible, thank you, thank you, thank you! I am always humbled and grateful for all your love!
