Well, since I drastically under-ordered our Christmas cards (math is obviously not my strong suit), I thought I'd share part of our letter online! Each year, we write down funny things the kids say, and it's the only part of our Christmas letter anyone ever talks about. :o) So, in place of a real, mailed card, here are a few photos and our year in quotations.
Anya Rashi:
(at the library, seeing a girl dressed in a princess outfit) LOVE that!
(I promise, I tried not to pass along my phobia) I see clowns . . . I scared.
(about a girl with extremely long hair) That girl got BIG hair.
My eye have a sore spot. Can you take out my eye and fix it?
The moon is out in the daytime! Hey Moon, I'm not sleeping anymore!
I love my really pretty Daddy.
God is in my heart? God in mine tummy too?
I'm Super French Fry!
Mama, mine baby sister can hear me in India? HEY, BABY SISTER? YOU COMING?
(after Aaron & Nathan told her to "blow kisses for the camera") No way! People need kisses, not cameras!
Nathan:
(after being told that he'd need to sit still in a nice restaurant) Just so you know, that's going to be really hard for me. I have loads of energy. I'm like a suitcase packed with live things!
(after the boys prayed for our pet parakeet to get well) Once again, God's work is done, right on schedule!
I'm doing something embarrassing right now. I have a ball of rope in my underwear.
Roll me up in my blanket like a tuxedo -- I mean a burrito!
Aaron:
(playing with Nathan) Okay, the first chicken is named Kyle, the second chicken is named Barry, and the third one is named Roadkill.
Best conversation of the year:
Nathan: Anya Rashi, do you want any hugs and kisses?
Anya Rashi: I want ham.

She is so precious!!
That brought back a memory of Shep telling me that Jesus lived in his tummy! Ha! Thanks, I had forgotten all about that.
Absolutely love the way small minds work. I could listen to candid conversations all day. Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas!!
