Christmas Day was, in a word, perfect. At one point I looked around at everyone and had a true joy in our posterity moment. Just sitting here writing my blog I'm feeling a little verklempt. I realized that this is our "all are safely gathered in" year as Lindsay will be graduating in June and off to university. Our Christmas was somewhat simple as we had scaled back so that we were able to share Christmas with another family. Christmas morning brought the magic that always accompanies little ones and there were smiles, laughter, and genuine interest in each other.
Indeed there was a lovely spirit -
the spirit of Christ in our home all day.

Quotables
Josh- I'm allergic to lions and fire.
Josh to Stephanie- no you don't love me, love is like a kiss and we don't kiss DOOO we?!
Josh to Lindsay after she put sunscreen on him- I look like a delicious man!
Josh- Upon being reprimanded, "I know, I know....it's okay!"
Sadie (now a CTR in Primary) following a discussion of choosing the right when playing with the neighbor instead of drawing on the door or taking off the doornob. " I always choose the right, but Maya chooses the left."
Sadie-" I have been trying to teach Josh to be nice, but it isnt working!
Josh- "nope, you're wrong mom." and "You're wrong again mom."
Josh has been saying a lot lately, "You're crazy!" (He is so perceptive).
Josh: "Hi folks!" (usually said right before he settles down to go to sleep).
Sadie: " I just love the smell of the fresh air out of the gate."
Josh: "Just Kidding!"
After tasting the soup at dinner tonight Sadie said, "Yum, I could eat a whole rabbit!"
When we refer to Josh as a baby he says, "I not baby I Josh!" this week he has added his last name. "I JOSH SQUASH!"
Josh has been calling Sadie, "Sade-Jade" all week. Yesterday she came in crying, "Josh won't call me Sadie."
The flu hit our family hard this weekend and at one point everyone was laying around half dead watching PBS Kids when Sadie announced, "I am twelve feet tall!"
Sunday was our Primary Program so Josh was a little lonely on the bench during sacrament. At one point he took two pretzles and stood them up and started playing with them, (to the other pretzel) "I dad." reply "I Josh Squash I take a bath." Dad says, "No, time to go church." Ben and Steph were cracking up!
