Color my Hair

Over the winter my mom and I went to the store and got dye. To be exact purple dye. We got the dye because of course I wanted to dye my hair to see what it’s like.

To dye my hair my mom had to bleach it first. The bleaching process took about 45min. When we finished with bleaching my hair it was really blonde, well the bottom half anyways. But by the time we did finish I had to go to bed. So my mom told me that tomorrow we would actually dye my hair purple.

So the next day came and my mom told me to come into the bathroom so I did. My mom had a towel on the sink, gloves on each hand and a dye bottle grasped in one of the gloved hands. When my mom finished dyeing my hair she told me to wait 45 min. before taking a shower. 45 min. passed and when I took a shower purple dye trailed off of my legs. It looked really cool.

Christmas 2014

Our day started at 5:30am. (Well, Jasmine started it by waking us up.) We enjoyed unwrapping many fine gifts. Jasmine especially liked her new guitar, lots of new clothes and an iphone 4s. My favorite was a big box of chocolate. And Emily is loving her new iphone 5s.

Emily did a wonderful job decorating. And she put out a great snack-able spread of cheeses, crackers and cured meats.

Christmas Eve dinner

Usually we got out for Chinese on Christmas Eve (inspired from the Christmas Story of course). This year we did something different and accepted an invitation from our neighbors to join them at Salty’s – a famous seafood restaurant on the Columbia River.

I started with seafood chowder, while Emily got the bruschetta platter. My entree was rock fish with shrimp and artichokes. Emily got cauliflower steak and roasted yams. Jasmine got a cheese burger and fries. For dessert we got vanilla creme brulee and baked alaska.

The festive decor and fine dining was a nice prelude to the holiday.
