Approximately a week or so ago, Billy and I were discussing with the kids what items they wanted to ask Santa for this year. At the time, Tyler wanted the Doris Tyrannasaurus and Buddy interactive dinosaurs from the show Dinosaur Train. (Now he wants the Night Fury dragon from How to Train your Dragon). Allison most wants a "Cookie Bake Oven" (translation - Easy Bake Oven). Ryan just wants to pull all the ornaments off our Christmas tree! There are other requests of course, but we were just discussing what would be at the very TOP of their lists.
At the end of the discussion, Allison wanted to know what would be at the top of her Daddy's Christmas list...
Allison: Daddy, what do you want for Christmas?
Billy: I want all my stress to go away.
Allison: No, what do you want for CHRISTMAS???
Billy: That is what I want. For all my stress to go away.
I think Allison asked her question even a time or two more, not being able to comprehend her Daddy's wish, but finally moved on when his answer didn't change.
Now, fast forward to this morning at our church's Breakfast with Santa. After Allison sat on Santa's lap and told him she wanted her Cookie Bake Oven on Christmas morning, she came back to our table and started coloring. A few minutes passed and someone came over and started talking to Allison...
Bro. S: Hey Pretty Girl (Billy calls her this all the time, so a couple of people have followed suit). Did I hear you wanted an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas?
Allison: Yep.....And Daddy wants all his stress to go away.
Precious. Absolutely precious.
