Humble Christmas

Saturday (12/13/08) after the flood, we took the van in for maintenance.  We left early so we would be the first ones there when they opened.  We were the second ones there.  Our appointment was at 8 and hung out at the shop.  They didn't finish the van until 9:45 am.  

Then we met up with the King at their office in Kaneohe and right across their office was a nursery.  So, we checked that out and that is where we got the tree.  Oh, Christmas Tree!  Oh, Christmas Tree!  Warrior 2 had to buy our Christmas tree with his money.  We bought a 5 ft tree.  Princess picked it out.   =)  After that we, went to eat manapua and lumpia at the Windward Mall food court.  Hung out at the mall just window shopping since we didn't have any money!  The kids were cool about just hanging out.   

Hi! Princess here!  Mom (Yoga Mama) asked me to write something on her blog, so here I am.

Mom had a talk with me and the Warriors about Christmas this year.  She said that this Christmas we won't be getting a lot of presents.  Because money is hard, don't expect a lot of presents to open on Christmas.   Then she goes on and says that when she was little, her family didn't have a lot and they didn't really get any presents for Christmas . They were lucky to even get some kind of  Christmas tree.   She said that we should save all our money, but if we should spend it , we should spend it wisely.  We also shouldn't spend money we don't have.   If we can't pay for it don't buy it.

But, even though we didn't have a lot of presents to open, Christmas was still fun!  Our stockings were stuffed full of goodies, and we all got some things that were on our wish list.  Even dad (the KING) got what he wanted.  GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR!   The complete band set. We had so much fun playing with it.  Even Grandma was rocking. =] Warrior 3 got what he wanted, a 600 piece Mars Mission set.  Warrior 1 got  snacks and a Star Wars Force Unleashed DS game.   Warrior 2 got a Star Wars trivia book and WWE game.  I got just what I wanted, clothes, shoes, and earrings.  (Yes!) We all got journals too. Christmas was the BOMB! We're so thankful that Grandma and Grandpa Goo could come over for Christmas. Thanks to all our friends and family for all that they have done for us.  Thanks again for everything. Thanks Dad for all of you've done for us.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I heard: 

Warrior 2: This is the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!

Me: Why?

Warrior 2: because... we got GUITAR HERO! Yeah!

I Saw:

Warrior 3, wide eyed with a big toofless grin on his face when he finally got to open his Lego's on Christmas Day.
