"The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"

Last night, me, my family, Ngiap, Ariel, Bekah, Mr. Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Wacome went to see the "Chronicles of Narnia" at the theater. I thought it was avery good movie!!! At times it was sort of scary, like when the White Witch was killing Aslan. But if scary things don't bother you, I would definately recomend this movie to you!!!!
Here is Focus On The Family's "Clubhouse Magazine" Narnia movie reveiw-

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
MPAA Rating: PGDistributor: Walt Disney PicturesDirector: Andrew Adamson
Starring: Georgie Henley as Lucy, Skandar Keynes as Edmund, Anna Popplewell as Susan, William Moseley as Peter, Tilda Swinton as Jadis the White Witch, James McAvoy as Mr. Tumnus, Kiran Shah as Ginarrbrik, Jim Broadbent as Professor Kirke: voices of Liam Neeson as Aslan, Ray Winstone as Mr. Beaver, Dawn French as Mrs. Beaver.

After being evacuated from London during the World War II Nazi bombing, the Pevensie children — Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter — end up living with an old professor on a rambling country estate far from the city and the war. Under the watchful eye of the professor's strict housekeeper, Mrs. Macready, the children must find ways to keep themselves amused.
When Lucy discovers a huge wardrobe while playing hide and seek, the furs give way to firs, and she finds herself in a snow-covered land called Narnia. Soon all the Pevensie children enter this magical world where it is always winter but never Christmas. There the children must face the White Witch.
Chases. Fights. Battles. Beavers! A lion named Aslan who becomes a picture of Jesus. And the love that binds four siblings together. These are just a few of the reasons the land of Narnia is so loved by so many. This story is full of lessons about loyalty, courage, selflessness and sacrifice. Peter and Susan look after each other and their younger brother and sister.
Some scenes may be too intense for young viewers. Depictions of a bombing, battle scenes and chases will frighten some children. But the movie portrays very little blood and actual violence.
With strong spiritual themes, Narnia is an adventure that will give kids and their parents something to roar about!

I thought that this was a good reveiw because it was from a Christian veiw!!!!!!
My Dad liked the movie and said that now he has to see it again to see the details!!!
...I really liked it and hope that everyone else who sees it will like it too!!!!!

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

Today it's raining really hard and our basement is getting a little flooded. My mom is outside shoveling the snow around the house!!
Before I got on the computer to write this, I was making Christmas gifts, I was making hemp stuff. Here are what the 2 that I've already compleated looks like (it's only the centers, the ends are just a regular "box" knot)-

Anyways...I thought that they came out nice!! Leave a comment and tell me what you think about them!!!

Snow Storm

Last Friday, we had a very bad snow storm. The snow piled up to about 15 in!!!!! Ariel was VERY excited, the day before she asked Ngiap if she could "go to the snow storm?"!!! Ngiap told her to wait and the snow storm would come to her. I think that she enjoyed going outside during the storm. The snow was so high that Awana was canceled!!!
On a different subject...
Last night Ashlee, Naomi, and I had our piano recital. We take piano lessons at Music Works, I think that it's really fun, and our teacher, Miss. Kathy, is AWESOME!!!!!! Ashlee, Naomi and I played an ensomble of "Carol of the Bells", and Ashlee played "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Anyways...the recital started at 4:30 p.m. and didn't end untill 6:00 p.m.. That wasn't to great, because we had our Youth Group Christmas party to go to that started at 5:00 p.m. and we knew that we were going to be late, but we got to the party around 6:20 p.m. so we only had about 40 minutes there, but after, we got to go out for pizza, so I guess it's o.k. (there was only about 10 people there, but about 20 people said that they would go :( ).
Anyways................................

The Cutting of the Hair

Today, in the town of Tewksbury, Erika, Katelyn, and Tori had their amazingly long hair cut off!!! YEA!!! Finally!!!!!! Here are some pictures!!!!
Before (My hair)
After (My hair)

It was kind of weird!!! I got 11in. taken off, Erika got 10in. taken off, and Katelyn got 12 1/2 in. taken off!!

When I first had the idea of cutting off my hair, I was in 1st grade. The reason I wanted to cut my hair was to donate the cut hair to Locks of Love, which is a organization which takes donated human hair and makes the hair into wigs for children who have cancer (a wig normally costs around $3000, but Locks of Love gives the wigs to people for free!!). I have been growing my hair out for 7 years!!!! Now I'm going to grow out my hair again, and when it gets long enough, cut it again and donate more hair to Locks of Love!!!!!!!! I have been putting off cutting my hair for a while, but I finally got the guts to do it!!!!!

Here are some more pics.

The hair person cutting my hair off!!!

Katelyn, me, and Erika holding our cut off hair!!

Finally, it was a good experience. I think it also feels good to know that you have helped someone!!!!

P.S. Now you might actually be able to see my number on my soccer uniform!!!!
