Team Ostler: Christmas in Montana

Christmas in Montana

We had a great time spending Christmas in Montana. It was definitely a white Christmas for us. Despite the snow, ice, and freezing cold temperatures, there is something so peaceful about being there. It is such a contrast to L. A. It is so wide open and laid back. It was refreshing! We stayed very busy while we were there.

We went sledding. . .

(The best part was watching my 60 year old mother sled down the hill. She's the one in the red coat.)

We found cool, giant ice cycles. . .

. . . we played A LOT of Guitar Hero on the Wii. . .

. . . we had a blast playing with our cousins. . .

. . we enjoyed our Christmas gifts. . .

. . . we made a gingerbread house. . .

. . . and we ate some of it. . .

. . . and we played in the snow and drank lots of hot chocolate!

It just doesn't get much better than that!

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
