M & M Dahle Family: Caroling

Caroling

Can you believe it's nearly Christmas?? I love Christmas time! It's been strange this year to not have any snow stay on the ground yet. Christmas day's forecast is supposed to hit 40. :( There might not be any snow this year. Last week we went out to the "south hills" to see some amazing Christmas lights. There was also a HUGE 2 humped camel there! I didn't expect it to be quite so big! Santa was there giving out candy canes too. As much fun as it was, our drive home was my favorite part of the night. We started singing Christmas carols and the kids sang loudly all the words they knew. It was one of those special moments I wanted to capture and remember forever. I even teared up a little. :)
As a family we went out the other night delivering goodies and caroling. It was SO much fun!! I loved it. Lexi and Isaac took turns giving the goody plate at every house. They were both singing so well. At the last house Kari even started babbling songs with us. Too cute!! The kids had helped a little with preparing our Christmas treats. I tried to teach them we were giving and sharing with others and that is what Christmas is about. Selflessness and love. Hopefully I get around to posting some sort of Christmas letter that wraps up our year but I may not..... In case I don't: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! (to anyone who still checks my blog... which may be no one)

Out of the Mouth of Babes

April '10

Lexi wanted me to trace her foot on one of those magnetic drawing boards. So I traced her foot but didn't go between all the toes and when I was done I said, "There, how's that," Disappointed she said, "Uh, not so good. " And put her hand down to be traced instead.

Usually when we go out as a family to eat we go to Arctic Circle. They have a fun kid's play zone there. One night we all went out to eat at Chilli's. We were all happily eating our food and Mark leaned over to Isaac and said, "This is fun isn't it?" Lexi disagreed, "There's no slide here," and took another bite.
March '10:
It was REALLY windy one day and I heard a thump outside. The wind had knocked over the garbage can and I told Lexi what happened. Her response, "Not a good choice, wind!!" with her finger up in the air.

Me: What's your favorite color?

Lexi was laying on my lap. When I asked if she was tired she said,"I'm going to sleep here." I tickled her a little and she said, "Don't tickle me. I'm not laughing." A few seconds later... "Tickle me!"

Mark was getting Lexi a drink and requested one of Isaac's sippy cups. Mark asked why she wanted that one and she replied, "'cause I'm silly"

We got a blue Hawaiian Punch that Lexi had never had before. She took a sip of it, looked at her cup and said, "Mmm that good! I feel better!"
