Quotes from Sidney.....

This one tells me she's watched "Dora's Christmas Carol" a few too many times....

"Mom, did you know that I'm not on the naughty list?"

(me: Is that because you obey mommy and daddy?)
"No! It's because I don't swipe!"
(and she said this as if I was terribly misinformed)
Then, today she wrote a letter to one of her best friends from church who recently moved away. She told me exactly what she wanted me to write with no help from me. Here it is...

Dear Ashley, You're still my best friend even when you're far away. I hope you come back someday so I can play with you. But, if you don't, I'll just play with Zaida. Love, Sidney
(I confess I may have omitted that last line from the original letter....)

Last but not least, my favorite one of the day....I was putting clean sheets on Caleb's bed this morning, when Sidney suddenly jumped out of his closet and yelled,

"Happy Holidays Mommy and Beeeerrrrrryyyy Christmas!"

Seasonal Sightings

Let's go waaaayyyy back....
The chefs with our Thanksgiving bird
Our turkey carver
Drew, Sidney, and Caleb yelling "Go Daddy Go" during the Thanksgiving Pulte Bowl
Some of the daddies in action
Found Santa snorkeling at Sea World and got him on camera
At the Pipe Creek Christmas Tree Farm
Breakfast with Santa
Checking out the trains at Santa's Railroad Wonderland....guess who did NOT want to leave?
Riding the choo-choo
Took a while to actually get inside to see the Christmasie stuff at Bass Pro Shop because we had to test out all the vehicles outside first!
Photo by Sid...not too shabby :)
Photo of just the kiddos in front of the tree...not an easy task!
