Not necessarily. Ann and Maya didn't return to Indonesia until at least 3 yrs after that Christmas. She moved into her own apartment and studied for her MA degree at UH, according to "Dreams," and the Time article. That picture could have been taken anytime between 1971 and 1974-75. I'd also place the "welcome" picture in 1959, the year Obama, Sr. arrived from Kenya, and the year Stanley moved to Hawaii.
The airport picture could have been taken in '73. Obama says he, Maya, Madelyn and Ann took a trip to the mainland "during the summer after my father's visit to Hawaii, before my eleventh birthday," which should have been '72, but then he says they watched the Watergate hearings at night during the trip, and those were in the summer of '73. The precise chronology, as always with Obama, is up for grabs. Stanley didn't go with them, but probably saw them off at the airport.
I'd also place the "Welcome" picture in 1959, the year Obama Sr. arrived from Kenya and the year Stanley moved to Hawaii, ahead of Madelyn and Ann.
>>>The airport picture could have been taken in ‘73.
No. We have an entire timeline for that airport picture that debunked the 70s. It is on this thread with well researched links to the Hawaii airport being reconstructed that contained before and after shots of he airport.
The airport picture had to in the 60s.

Frank Davis grew up in Kansas.
The Dunhams are from Kansas.
Frank Davis AND the Dunhams have a common friend from Mercer Island, Robeson.
Obama went into politics in Chicago.
Frank Davis wrote for periodicals in Chicago.
I wonder how coincidental that all is.
Ok, I go along with that but what puzzles me is NOBODY knew who Barack Obama Sr. was before he came to Hawaii. In that picture he is receiving a BIG welcome (hence the Lei) If all those people were arriving at the same time they would all have Lei's on also. So who are all those people there with him? To me it seems plausable that they are people who had met him while going to school in Hawaii and are welcoming him back after a long absence.
I just like to put twists to things. :-)
I think that is correct.
