Christmas 2010

I accidentally deleted the entire photo card on my digital camera. :( Lost so many good pictures of Christmas!
I thought I'd type up a quick little memory blog. I'll write more as I remember stuff!

I forgot my dad's present here at our house and so I made him an IOU card just to be silly. I wrapped it in tissue paper and put it in a gift bag. When dad unwrapped it he missed the card and pulled out a pine needle that had dropped in the bag. It hit Evan Charlie so funny that he giggled and giggled! "Oh! Pop Pop thought the pine needle was his Christmas present!!" He constantly retells that one! :)

Meagan leaned up against my Uncle Charlie just looking up at him wanting snuggles! She is so picky about who she goes to voluntarily, it was just so precious! I had the best pic of that on my camera. Bummed I deleted it! She sat on his lap for a while.

Meagan was so cute unwrapping presents... VERY SLOWLY! At Aunt Sandy's house she sat with her arms around the puppy she got for her first gift and just kept sliding one hand in and out of her second present. It took her quite awhile to decide to see what was inside.

Aidan is on the verge of losing his belief in Santa. He's a bit of a skeptic, but he has to cover all the bases. "Santa is NOT REAL!!" "Mom, we better leave out milk and cookies AND carrots for all the reindeer, because if Santa comes we have to have something for him!"

Evan Charlie 12/8/2010

Me: Evan Charlie, I think I am going to take a nap today. My ear and neck hurt soo bad.

Evan: You should.

Me: Yeah, but I don't want to leave you all by yourself out here. I don't want you to be lonely while Meagan and I are sleeping.

Evan: (a slow smile spreads across his face) It's okay. I'm not lonely. I know that God is always with us, so it's okay. You can take a nap.

Awww. :)

Aidan August 6, 2010

Aidan is singing worship again this morning. =) He's making up more songs and playing on the little keyboard. I love it! =) He was singing that God is famous and that we are with God and God is with us. He even sang about creation talking about God. He says he wants to be on the worship team with me when he grows up. Aww.

♫Our God is a famous God he is awesome and so famous♪

The first thing he ever wanted to be when he grew up was a bridge builder... this is a switch! hehehe.

Aidan says, "Mom, remember when we went to choir practice and I told you I didn't know how to sing? Well, I do know how to sing. I sing to God. Wanna hear how I do it?
♫Oh God we have to worship you. It is so much fun♪
That's a short one, I have long ones too. That short one though you can sing over and over if you want. You could even sing that short one for one of your worship songs if you wanted to. You know, for your worship music. So, you can sing it too, if you want"

Evan, May 30, 2010

Chris was discussing a passage of Scripture with me about unbelievers vs. believers.

Aidan said, "I'm a believer, you're a believer (pointing at Chris). Evan is a believer...?"

I replied, "I'm not sure if Evan is a believer or not, Aidan."

Evan pipes up and says, "I asked Jesus in my heart!"

We all just looked at him! First off, he's four years old, and his understanding of the term believer was phenomenal, and secondly, Evan has made it clear that he has NOT asked Jesus in his heart. He has said as much on many occasions.

Chris asked him when it happened, and Evan said, "I did it quietly when we were in the car yesterday."

(yesterday, to Evan, means any day before today... LOL)

Chris asked, "where were we at?"

Evan said, "At Walmart"

That was the day that Chris had talked to Evan about salvation and Aidan had told Evan how he got saved. :) Evan apparently thought about everything, and asked Jesus into his heart secretly.

Now when he talks about it he says that it was a secret, and that's why he didn't tell anyone before. LOL

So sweet! :)

Aidan told Chris, "We don't need perfect parents, we just need you guys."

Feel the love! BAHAHAHA

Aidan, May 2010

Aidan runs into the house...
"Mom! Dad! I accidentally hit Ashton in the face, and he ran home, and he said he's never going to play with me again for 80, 60, 100 years!....

"But he'll be dead by then."

And he runs back outside.

We were ROFL!
