My First Christmas Present

Yesterday, Katelee ran to me after preschool and excitedly gave me this beautiful gift! She had even wrapped it herself. I was thrilled!

When we got home, we chose a special place under the tree for the present to stay until Christmas. It lasted about one hour. And then Katelee started begging me to open her present. She was so excited about giving that she just couldn't wait. So, even though I wanted to wait until Christmas morning, I finally gave in and opened her cute present. Inside I found this!

A fishy eraser!

This is one of the best gifts I've ever received. One reason is that this is probably the first gift Katelee has given me all on her own (without even daddy's help). But this is also so special because of the great deal of love and excitement with which Katelee gave it to me. I know she loves me, and I love her so much, and that is why I LOVE this first Christmas present and think I have received my favorite gift of the year.

I love you, Katelee!

Funny Things Katelee Says

"Are you going or leaving?!?" She was trying to ask if I was coming or going, I think . . . LOL!
Pulling her eyebrows up in the middle, "Do I look EVIL?"
Gerald woke up one morning complaining of a sore back. "Dad, you need to get a Sleep Number bed," was Katelee's response. We cracked up! Too much TV, perhaps?
I told her I was going to french braid her hair. When the braid was done, she asked, "How does my Mexican braid look??"
We were admiring a beautiful moon on the evening of Gerald's birthday. Katelee said, "I think Jesus put that moon in the sky for daddy's birthday." Aunt Bonnie's birthday was two days later. Katelee saw a cloud that was shaped like a "princess crown" in the sky and said, "I think Jesus put that crown cloud in the sky for Bonnie's birthday."
"Do you know Heavenly Father's phone number?"
How did Heavenly Father create our bodies without spilling all the blood?
While driving past the big glass windows at a local restaurant, "MOM! My vision is SO GOOD that I can see through that wall!"
"I was scared that the cow was going to moo at me. Or poo on me."
"Can you remember all those things that are in my brains?"
"I have 100 pounds of heart in my tummy for daddy. Mom, you only have four pounds."
"I want more tickling and kiss-l-ing!"
"Scripture Power! Keeps me safe from THIN!" Nothing we say can convince her that 'thin' isn't the proper word here.
While serving a German chocolate cake, "I don't want the German, just the chocolate."
In a really sarcastic voice, after Gerald asking if she needed to go to the bathroom, "Dad! I'm NOT two!"
As we were leaving Deseret Book, "Mom, I really like that statue of Jesus and Mr. God."
Me: Katelee, did you just BITE me? Katelee: No, mom! I was just chewing on you!!
To the kid at the playground who climbed to the top of the jungle-gym, "Hey! You are the angel Moroni!"
While saying a dinner-time prayer when the missionaries were eating with us, "...and please bless the...umm...the...the teachernaries."
"I can feel Jesus in my heart. Mom, I think Jesus is hungry."
Trying to make a deal with me: "Mom, if you put my doll's dress on, then you can give me a fruit snack!"
While sobbing about her new splint, "MOM! I REALLY miss my wrist!"
"I want to go to the temple and marry a prince. A prince named Ronald. But NOT Ronald McDonald. Just Ronald."
"Mom, I have to wear my sunglasses when it's dark so I won't be scared of the dark."
"Do you want to play? You be the princesses and I'll be the glass slippers!"
"These are my shoes. Their names are 'glass' and 'slipper.'"
"When I grow up I want to be ketchup."
"Frogs jump like this. Frogs jump on the knee pads. The knee pads float on the water and the frogs jump on them!"
"I want to watch Shampoo." This means 'Enchanted.' Even though we have told her several times that the movie is called 'Enchanted,' she still gets confused and calls it Shampoo. =)
"I'm not hyper! I'm a CHICKEN NUGGET!"
"Dad, don't poop in your underwear!"
