Christmas family cheesiness

Christmas really is a lot more fun with kids around. The previous Christmases with Daniel have involved the fun of watching him rip open gifts and things of that nature. But with all the conversations about Santa, baby Jesus, along with his cries of "Wow! Look at those lights!" everytime he sees Christmas lights, I'm starting to realize just how much fun is in store for us during the coming years. So, here are some pics and favorite Christmas sayings from this year:

Overheard this Christmas:

me: "Do you want to sit on Santa's lap?:
Daniel: "No, I want to sit on the Snowman's lap. Little boys sit on the Snowman's lap, only little girls sit on Santa's lap"

As we entered the trail of lights, we encountered a display based on the book "Where the Wild Things Are" Immediately Daniel pointed at Max, the main character, and said "Look, its baby Jesus!"

Taking a walk in the neighborhood, looking at lights. Daniel is naming off people who're going to be there at Christmas. After naming off Santa, reindeer, snowman,
me: "Baby Jesus will be there too. Its his birthday, you know."
Daniel: "NO! Its not Baby Jesus' birthday, he's NOT going to be there!!!"
me: "Yeah, he is. Really, its his birthday. Don't you like Baby Jesus?"
Daniel: "NO! I DON'T like Baby Jesus!!!"
Let's just hope that conversation doesn't go down in his permanent record.....
