The Stucki's: Christmas Day ... Dec 25, 2009

The kids woke up relatively early, but since Ryan was not yet awake, we made them sit up in our room for a little while. I think around 7:00 we went in and woke up Ryan (who was not too happy!) and got ready to come down to see what Santa Claus had brought the kids.
As is usual, the kids got too many presents (we seem to mis-calculate this every year), but it was a fun morning.
After opening presents we had our traditional Christmas breakfast of Eggs Benedict and Caramel Pecan Rolls. All very good. We just hung out and played games for the rest of the day.

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!"
