Things Children Will Say...

My favorite moment of Christmas morning...Reid had asked for only a few things from Santa this year. A few of them requested at a very late time. I had explained to Reid that Santa had probably already organized and sorted the presents to make sure that all the children had the right amount to get from him, since you know, Santa likes to be fair. Sometimes, late requests just don't make the cut. So of his requests was a dog; Lizzi had requested a trampoline for the two of them for a year. Santa had a year to prepare for this one so it wasn't that unreasonable. Time goes on... Christmas comes, and we do all of the rituals that our family does. We realize that Santa had left a note to go outside. Reid and Lizzi were both very excited! What could it be? A TRAMPOLINE! The kids are running towards it and realize that they hear their cousins in their backyard (which is directly behind ours). Off they go...Lizzi to the trampoline and Reid to the fence. All of a sudden...Reid stops cold! He doesn't say anything for a moment. You can hear excite from all 5 kids. Reid has noticed...LUCY!

So, this sounds great, right? Wrong! Lucy wasn't in Reid's yard, but in his cousin's yard! So Reid says that he knows exactly what happened and decides to tell his two and a half year old cousin, Kade, just what it was...Reid yells across the yard...

"Kade, how did you get a dog? I asked for a dog! Santa must have gotten the wrong yard!"

Don't we just love the thoughts of our young children!
