Rain, rain go away!

The rain is still here. I'm surprised we don't have more flooding. Anyhow, we haven't been able to get any Christmas shopping done because of the torrential downpours. We decided to brave the wetness and get some stuff done. We took the kids everywhere, from Walmart, to Mililani towncenter, then drove on over to Ward Center and eventually Ala Moana. Those of you in AZ, Ala Moana is a HUGE mall. Most of it is outside too.




We trekked all over the place looking for Christmas presents for our pixie person in the family. And in Sasaki-family style, came home empty handed. We spent more money feeding our family while we were out, than on the actual gifts we were in search of. Oh well. It did make for some good family time. We did enjoy each other and had a lot of fun looking around. We came home with decorations (we couldn't find any in our unpacked boxes), and decorated the tree. The kids exclaimed several times during the tree decorating that they were having so much fun. Those are things that make the crazy day worth it right.
