Christmas in Hawaii
For both daughter and I, after many years battling Minnesota winter weather, having Christmas in Hawaii is definite up there with the weirdest things we have ever done.
Here are a few morning present openings:
Before the boys came downstairs.
Mikey giving daddy a kiss on Skype.
Daddy (in Germany) watches everyone open presents.
I got a wonderful letter from Brandon.
Milly kept one toy but was not amused with the whole present unwrapping at all.
I gave Bente an owl to commemorate the owl she found but could not keep.
Showing the owl to Mike
Ryah saying hello to the owl.
Merry Christmas to all!
Yorik Gets a Christmas Present!
Look what Bente brought home for Yorik!
Risengrød Part Two
now the oldest is up. He has always been the fussiest of eaters.
He wasn’t even fully awake, but after a bite, he loved it and ate every bite!
Score!
Risengrød
This morning I wanted to test an asian sweet rice to see how it would work for
Risengrød. It was a success and the boys loved it!
A bit of hesitancy. A new food ya know.
Still not sure…
Really Memaw? Rice for breakfast?
He likes it! Hey Mikey!
They both really liked it, once they realized it was sweet with sugar and cinnamon. The oldest isn’t up yet….he loves rice anyways so I think he will like it too.

It is Brandon’s Birthday today. He is at the mall with his friends. More photo’s to come with that excursion, but right now I can add the photo’s from his dinner out last night:
Concentrating on picking the perfect dinner.
Opening the card from Mema and Pepa.
He got a wallet, which he proclaimed was the sickest wallet ever! I was told that is a good thing.
A bit of cash and a gift card.
A card from Mom and Dad. Even more cash. Making for a great day at the Mall today. Nothing like a sick wallet with sick money!
I think the book he got was considered sick too. Another Whimpy Kid Diary book and let me just say he sat down and read it all the way through.
And Brandon order the Triple something or other. It was HUGE!!!! Couldn’t finish it, but he certainly tried!
I think that was the end of the burger.
A good time was had by all.
Oh, and Brandon opened up his card this morning from his Nana and Grandad, and is absolutely in heaven for the ability to put more money into his sick wallet. I bet he’s been shopping at the Mall and will come home with some sick stuff!!!! lol
