Christmas Morning was a whirlwind! We got in about 9pm the night before from Utah and the kids were all sick with fever and nausea but when we landed they started asking for Grandma Lilly, who couldn't make it to the airport because she didn't want to leave all the family at the Christmas eve party (totally understandable). Carson most of all was dying to see Grandma so we had to pop on over to her house for a minute to say hi, then it was off to rush home and go to bed before Santa came! We did manage to borrow some cookies and carrots from Grandma to leave for Santa and the reindeer, so that was a crisis averted!
Christmas morning Chris and I had to wake the kids up by 8:15 because they were still sound asleep, but we had to meet my family at my parents house for our Christmas breakfast and to open gifts there. The kids were feeling a little better which was a relief, but they still weren't 100%. It took them a little bit to get excited about the presents Santa left because they were chilly...When we arrived home the night before we were surprised to realize that our heater was broken and it was actually kind of a cold night in Texas. Hence the pictures of Christmas morning with Carson all bundled up on the floor like a burrito!
But the kids had a good time on Christmas they got a lot of fun toys to add to all the fun stuff that they got from our family in Utah! Lilli's great gift was a new kitchen set, and Carson got a tool work bench and a power wheels tractor that he can drive himself! Oh and he did also get the one thing that he wanted which was Hungry, hungry hippos! Chris got what he wanted a new R7 driver with a draw, and I got what I wanted a new cricut machine! So all in all it was a great Christmas!

Super Funny Kids Quotes!
New Quotes.:
I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."
Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"
I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)
On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"
We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)
We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."
When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)
We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
