Christmas in April

Nana Barbara opening her present from us - personalized notecards (with Mikaela's self drawn self-portrait on them) and a travel mug decorated by Xander!

Tommy's present - a cool new dress shirt - I love it....I was hoping to see it on him on our anniversary dinner out, but.............the green shirt won again.

Mikaela in her adorable new robe!

Xander with his cool new auto robot remote controlled toy

Mikaela opening a pair of ear rings for her newly pierced ear

We missed celebrating Christmas with Nana Barbara this year. She came in to town just as the stomach virus hit our house. I have to confess that Christmas in April was quite cool. The kids haven't opened gifts in a while, and birthdays are still a ways away. They were really excited to see Nana Barbara and fought over her attention for her whole stay!

during my birthday dinner out at Red Robin, Xander: "Why is he waiting on THAT table? He is our waiter!!!!"
M: "I was SO close to being an only child. OR, I could have had a sweet sister like you Preslie."
Mommy: Xander, Next weekend we are getting your new bunk beds. Aren't you excited?" Xander: "Yeah, man - that is going to be cool." Mommy: "Now you can sleep in your own bed all night - in your big boy bunk beds." Xander: "Mommy - I was thinking we could get two bunk beds - then we would have four beds - and we could all sleep in my room." Mommy: "Xander, you are going to sleep in your bunk beds all by yourself - because you are so big now!" Xander: "That wasn't what I was thinking."
As we exited the "Kickin Christmas" show at Stone Mountain, I commented to Tommy that I was really surprised to see a religious reference in the show (they talked about the true meaning of Christmas being the birth of Jesus and sang "Let there be Peace"). Xander said "Mommy - Stone Mountain probably read it in the bible - it is a good book. It's in there."
Mikaela: Today at school in the lunchroom, I swallowed a cherry seed. Jacob said "Oh no you swallowed a cherry seed. You're going to die in one second." and I said "1 - AHHHHH - I'm still breathing." Xander: Did you die Sissy? (very concerned) Mikaela: HELLO (in the snottiest voice) Xander: Oh.
Xander (when speaking to Santa answering the "what do you want for Christmas question): I want a woman to clean my room.
Mikaela: I'm smarter than you. Xander: I'm smarter than you because I know all about dog bones and dinosaur bones. Mikaela: I'm smarter than you because I can read 2.3 to 3.0 books. Xander: (Silence)
