More Fun Times on the 24th

Before we met our family for a Christmas Eve dinner, we encouraged our young kids playing more indoor playground. It is not a McDonald's or Carl's Jr. It is for the parents to relax in a little bit while there were bunch of kids playing all different kinds of indoor activities: from playing doll house to climbing plastic rocks.

Our kids spread it out while David, Deby and I had a cup of a hot drink. As for me, I drank a cup of Chai Latte. It is one of my favorite hot drinks. My sister in law enjoyed talking on the phone. We did have a chance to talk to each other while the kids enjoyed their time with other kids. The kids were too busy to think about their lunch until we had to stop them.

Ryan enjoyed playing with the spinning bicycle with the other kids. It made him laugh. He also liked to play hopscotch. I personally was pleased to see that he had improved his motor skills in hopscotch. Not only focusing two particular activities, he also played with other activities as well.

Dylan especially liked to play with the Thomas and the trains and climbing the plastic rocks. First, I thought he was too old to play with Thomas and the trains and even too tall for climbing the plastic rocks. Second, what can I do to provide him though this place accepts the kids up to age 10. He is almost 8, but his body builder is near 10 years old. At least, he did have some energies to burn, including playing in the snow outside of Deby's home.

Once we were done with the Indoor Playground activities, we went out to another family member house, Ginger and Mark's for our Christmas Eve dinner. From young kids to adults even played against each other from steering their Wii wheels. Most of them took their turns.

At the end of the Christmas Eve, we had witnessed our youngest niece, Alexis who had a handful of vaseline all over her hair just before she came for the Christmas Eve dinner. I had to encourage my sister in law, Deby to look it up on the Internet on how to remove the vaseline out of her hair. The interesting part was using the Baking Soda with soapy lukewarm water on her head. Of course, she was not very happy when Ginger had to put on her head before taking her to the sink and rinse her hair. It took more than one time to remove the entire vaseline out of her head. That's one of the things none of us would ever forget this event especially on Christmas Eve.
