Can we just get one?

Here are some attempts at getting a nice picture of the two kids all dressed up on Christmas Eve.
Joslin! Come over here please! Joslin!

This will have to do. Between the coughing, sniffling, roaming around... Whew!
Joslin looked adorable in her dress and Patrick was handsome in his sweater.
A beautiful Christmas Eve service. A fresh coating of snow.
A warm home with a wonderful family and presents under the tree.
Merry Christmas!

Sayings...

Joslin walked in to Patrick's room.
Patrick: Joslin! You can't come in here. You carry diseases!

After carrying a grocery bag from the car to the house Patrick was worn out. He says "Whew, that really hurt my blood pressure!"

A few days after meeting Abe Lincoln Patrick asked: How did Abraham Lincoln come back to life?
Us: What?

Us: Oh! That guys was just dressed up like Abraham Lincoln.

After sleeping really late this morning I asked Patrick "How ya feelin?"
Patrick: Well, I still have hair, see?

On the way to preschool this morning Patrick asked why couldn't we touch the sun?
Me: Well, it is very far away and it is very hot- like putting you hand in the oven.
Patrick: Then how did God put it in the sky?
Me: think, think- geesh it's early in the day for this question, think. God can do lots of things we can not do.

Patrick was talking about a friend of his...
Patrick: She has never been to preschool. She wouldn't know how to survive!
It's rough and tumble in preschool these days!

My mom has a pendant on her necklace that has a birthstone for each of her grandchildren. There are 4 round stones and she recently got the pendant back from the jeweler after he added a diamond for Joslin.
Mem: Patrick, do you see the new diamond for Joslin?
Patrick: That isn't a diamond!
Mem: Yes, it is a diamond for Joslin's birthstone.
Patrick: That is not a diamond. It's a circle!

After some school shopping I told Patrick we just needed to get him some dress shoes.
Patrick: Dress shoes? I don't wear dress shoes!
Me: You're right. You need nice shoes, not dress shoes.

I was asking Patrick what he might like for his birthday.
Patrick: I don't know.
Me: Well, if you were opening presents what would you like to unwrap?
Patrick: Whatever you want it to be! I do need four presents though since I will be 4.

As we headed in to church today Jim and Bonnie Magaw came past our car. Patrick says to them: "We have a giant June bug smashed on the front of our car. Wanna see it?" They humored him and said yes. When they asked how it got there Patrick said "It must not have been looking where it was going!"
