Special Christmas Things

I started this post a really long time ago! I think that I just got busy and forgot about it!

Here are just a couple of things that made this Christmas a little more meaningful. Aspen really got into making things for everybody. She made everyone in the family are card similar to this one that she made for me:

They were stapled together and put in each person's stockings. So very sweet. She also made each family member a special shape out of pipe cleaners. Mine was a flower:

She did this on her own with out looking at a book or anything. She made a sun, a football, a butterfly, and one more that I can't remember. I thought they were great!

Then Asher made his sisters these really nice bulb 'forcers' (one for each of his sisters):

They're just rocks with flower bulbs and a little bit of water. It's suppose to force the flowers to grow then you plant them in the ground.

As I mentioned before, we stopped at Silver Dollar City in Branson on our way home from Michigan for Christmas. I also mentioned that I lost my camera somewhere in Michigan only to find it AFTER Christmas when we were at my dad's! Well, while we were at SDC I decided to purchase a disposable camera so I could get some shots of us there. I paid TEN DOLLARS for this piece of crap!!! Rip off! Especially, because I then had to pay like 6 bucks to develop them AND get a cd of the pics so I could post them on my blog! SO EXPENSIVE!! It's hard to believe that this was just the way of life for most of us just a few years ago!! Now it's so cheap to take pictures! Anyway... The BEST part ::sarcastic:: was when I go the pictures back from that camera. I thought I would share a couple with you just so you could see:

Nice, huh? I was really mad. But there must have been something wrong with the camera! I even took this really nice picture of Aspen & Andyn and was so disappointed that it didn't really turn out! This wouldn't have happened with my digital camera!! Who knows, maybe I can figure out a way to fix it with my new photo software!! I hope!

hehehe. Too funny. I remember the old school way to take pics. Funny how reliant we are on our technology. I "need" my computer. Gotta love it!
