PRE-Christmas FuN

The kids were out ALL week from school,

so mom had to find some things to entertain them

before we all went stir-crazy!!

Since we hadn't made gingerbread houses,

that was first on the list.

Mom picked up a few things at the store,

but we also tried to just use things we already had

1/2 eaten around the house.
Ame wanted to do a BIG house

but Ash got my vote for the BEST LOOKING
house (maybe cuz mom helped just a little)

Grandma took us GIRLS one day, for

a little spoiling. I was pampered with

a pedicure (something I have only been

treated to a few times in my life; never

just done it on my own)

And Ame got her NAILS done. They were soo

cute (for a FEW days anyway), painted all Christmasey!
******

Didn't get any pictures of it, but Ame, Kaipo and Quinn

all went and saw Narnia with Grandpa Asplund

on Christmas Eve (day). The showing they saw

was actually in 3D and Ame got sick part way through
so Dad had to take her out for walk in the mall for a while,

but Kaipo LOVED, LOVED it. He has seen the others and

is very into that series. Ame even reads the chapter books to him.

Dad said he was soooo into the movie that

he kept yelling things out like: No! don't!! or watch out!!

I am pretty sure it was high light of his Christmas Break.

Ame on the other hand, I don't think so...

its funny cuz originally Ame wasn't going to go because it was

a BOYS outing, but Kaipo really wanted her to come,

so last minute she did?!

At least it wasn't a total waste of $$$ for everyone!!!
So FUN has been had, with

many more Christmas memories

and times of Joy on the way!
