Christmas Time

The week before Christmas we went and spent some time in California. It was our chance to show off Charlotte and to do some things we would have done over Thanksgiving if we could have.

The rest of these pictures are from Knott's Merry Farm. I'm glad that this was a tradition we were able to keep.

April-isms

1. At the Los Angeles Temple looking at Christmas lights. Melissa was telling April that the temple is Heavenly Father and Jesus house.

April- Ooooo. Can we knock?

2. Again at the temple.

April (seeing the reflection pool)- I see pretty water.

Me- What else do you see that's pretty? (assuming she'll say flowers, etc.)

April- I see Grandpa!

3. April saw a Disney villains poster.

April- There's (Snow White's) wicked queen. She makes yucky apples.

And one from John for good measure:

I was talking to April about being her dolly's mommy.

John(referring to his animals)- I'm their daddy?

Me- Yes. Because you're a boy.

John- Where's their mommy?

Me- You can wait until you get married she can be their mommy. Or you can let April be their mommy.

John- Ummmm....I'll wait until I get married.
