Santa keeps his promises

Avery: (age 6)

Avery opened up a Christmas present from Santa.  It was a stuffed animal puppy that bounced up and down and barked.  She had wanted this puppy for quite some time now.

When she opened it, she started to cry and then went up to Kaden and said, "I told you He would bring it to me.  I just told you, He would".

I'm so much wiser than you

Connor 2

Brighton nearly 5

(Connor had thrown a ball at one of my sample cakes and destroyed a bunch of the sugar work…. Needless to say, Mom was a bit upset)

Brighton: “ Mom, don’t worry, when Connor is 4 like me, he will know better”

Silent Prayer

Brighton (age 4)

It was a Sunday morning and I was kneeling down in my room praying.  I kept hearing, "MOM... MOM... MOM!!!"  (obviously I wan't answering him, because I was in the middle of a prayer)

Then again, "MOM!!".. This time he found me and was yelling in my ear (I'm still praying, mind you)
I proceeded to finish my prayer and looked up and said, "what's up buddy?"

Brighton:  Mom, what are you doing?
Mom:       I was just saying my prayers
Brighton:  Geez mom... next time you say your prayers, say them out loud so I don't think you are dead!"

Brighton (age 4... almost 5)

Christmas Eve party and Grandpa Dallan was asking all the kids what the real meaning of Christmas was.  Brighton said, "SANTA!!!"  When Grandpa continued to try and get him to say that Jesus was the real reason and that we love Jesus even more than Santa, Brighton said,
                            "No, I like Jesus and Santa the same amount"

2013 New Challenge

I have missed out on SO MANY hilarious things my kids have said the past year and a half because I haven't taken 2 seconds to write them down.  The past year, pretty much EVERYTHING Brighton has said has cracked us up and I can't remember any of it.  So, before his funny stage is completely over.... I've got to be better.

So, 2013.... here we go... I have re-committed to be better.
