Christmas Fun!

Well, we have had quite a busy last week or so, as I am sure that everyone has. We are prepping to host Christmas Eve as well as enjoying parties, lights, making cookies, events, etc.

Last night David's parents and sister took us to dinner and Moody Gardens to see the Festival of Lights as well as a shortened 4D version of Polar Express. It snowed in the theater and sprayed water at you and the room smelled like hot chocolate. We all really enjoyed it--well except for Kylie, who really did not appreciate getting sprayed in the face with water! After the evening was over we headed home from Galveston at a rather rapid pace. Unfortunately one of Galveston County's fine policemen pointed a radar gun right at us and David now has the speeding ticket to prove it. Well, when you get a speeding ticket with three kids in the back you get a barrage of questions. "What is he doing?" "Why did you do it?"etc.etc. So, we told the kids that Daddy had broken the law and now he has to take an (incredibly boring, lame, horrid) class and pay a lot of money. So then the following conversation ensued:

David: Ok kids, because I got a ticket and it's going to cost a lot of money, we're going to have to take back all of the Christmas presents to pay for it!

Kids: Chorus of boos!

Amy: Well, Daddy is the one who was naughty, so let's just take back all of his presents.

Kids: Chorus of yeas!

David & Amy: Explanation that we are just kidding and all is well.


Silence


20 seconds or so pass


Dallin: (slow and deliberate, as serious as a heart attack)
Daddy, Santa knows what you did...


We couldn't stop laughing!

Pictures to follow.
