The Stucki's: Christmas Eve ... Dec. 24, 2008

For Christmas Eve we each opened one gift, as is tradition. Katie is starting to realize that this gift is always pajamas, but I think we can get away with this for a couple of more years. Heather even got me some new pajamas as well.
We changed into our pajamas and had our small Christmas program. We opened singing Silent Night, and Katie accompanied us on the piano. We read Luke 2 and told the story of the birth of Jesus using the Little People Nativity Set.
We set out cookies, milk, and carrots (for the reindeer) and the girls went to sleep pretty quickly to wait for Santa to come.

Quotes to Remember

We were in Munich and just checking into our Hotel and both the girls needed to go to the bathroom. We all ran upstairs to our rooms and they both bolted into the bathroom. They began to fight over which one was going to use the toilet first. They argue for a few seconds when Katie shouts, "Mom, which one of us do you want to pee their pants?!" (May, 2009)
We were driving home from church last week and I said something like, "We are going to buy a Toyota Sequoia". Suddenly from the back we hear our 4 year old, Ashley, pipe up ... "You killed my Father...Prepare to Die!"...somehow she confused "Toyota Sequoia" with "Inigo Montoya" from the Princess Bride! (May, 2009)
Ashley and I were playing a card game when she says to me, "pause the game, I have to go to the bathroom". This is when I realized the technology gap between my childhood and hers.
I asked Ashley what country she was born in (she was born in Canada). She told me that she couldn't remember, so I tried to give her a hint. I said, "you were born in Cannnn...". To which she immediately exclaimed in triumph..."CANDYLAND!!"
Katie woke us up this morning telling us we needed to get up. Heather told her that her head hurt and she wasn't going to get up yet. Katie responds, "But you don't WALK on your head, so get up!"
