Busted!

We took the kids to see Santa last Thursday and Zachary was so excited. He had written a list out and brought it with him. The list is a pillow pet, Star Wars Legos, BeyBlades, and a DS. We waited at StoneBriar to see the same Santa we have for the past 5 years and when it was our turn Z was gung ho and Rylee freaked. So Z and Santa went over the wish list.

The following weekend we went out to Cedar Creek lake to have our Jost Christmas. The Jost family is Chad's Mom's family so we stay with Chad's Uncle and Aunt and his cousins, their kids, and his grandma and her husband all squeeze in together for some serious family bonding.

His Aunt and Uncle had arranged for a visit from Santa for all the kids. Zachary was SOOOO excited again. Santa brought gifts for each of the kids to keep them happy until Saturday. Santa took each child on his lap and asked what they wanted for Christmas.

Z's present was at the very bottom of the sack. I really think he was worried that Santa was not going to call his name - he paced and then sat and stared and he tried his very best to be patient. Finally it was his turn -- grinning from ear to ear he sat on Santa's lap and waited while we took pictures.

Santa then turned to him and said "Zachary - what do you want for Christmas?"

Z looked at him, cocked his head, and squinted his eyes "Um Santa -- I already told you."

OOOPPPS!!

Not sure if he was worried that Santa had already forgotten his carefully thought out list or if he was suspicious that Santa didn't really know who he was -- doesn't matter to me. All the adults laughed as Santa had the reindeer in the headlights look and tried to recover.

Merry Christmas my smart boy!!

She Does Have a Thing for Toy Story

Rylee was playing with our Little People Manger set. She put one of the wise men on top of the camel and said "YeeeeHaw Cowboy!"

It Sounds Like a QPM But It Wasn't

A sweet little conversation I had with my daugher...

Rylee: Mommy I want gum.

MK: No baby you can't have any gum.

Rylee: I want gum pleeeaasssee!

MK: Rylee, I said no. You can't not have any gum.

Rylee: No Mommy I want gun.

MK: Oh gun?! I thought you said gum. Yes, you can have the gun.
