Team Ostler: Christmas 2012

Christmas 2012

We were able to go to Utah for Christmas this year. It is nice to be able to make the drive and be there in one day. We're really going to miss that when we move and our wallets will miss it too when we start shelling out money to fly all five of us to Utah or Arizona for the holidays! We stopped at the Lexington hotel in St. George on the way. We're going to miss that place too. It's become kind of a fun tradition for us.

The boys painted nativities with Sandy. They turned out very cute and very unique.

The boys made a special lego nativity for Grandma because she loves to collect nativities. It was super cute!

We went to the Riverwoods to see the lights and they had a whole bunch of really cool gingerbread houses. These were Jimmy and Ben's favorites.

I don't know what Amber's doing here but I think she should win a prize for world's best aunt!

Ben got to be Joseph for this year's nativity. He was pretty excited about that.

Just in case you're wondering this is the lego Star Wars sarlacc pit. It's basically a multi-tentacled alien beast that devours it's prey and digests it over thousands of years. Aren't you glad that you know that now? You can't really go through life without knowing about the sarlacc pit!

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?"
