Merry Christmas!

Happy 2016 Christmas from the Riedls!

Delaney's Christmas Tree Disaster Story

On the night we brought our Christmas tree home, Delaney was being contemplative. While we were eating dinner, she asked, "What if you were driving in the snow, and you fell off of your car, and your Christmas tree hit the ground, and exploded, and all the ornaments would break, and you'd be really sad."

Nolan responded, "Yeah, then your entire house will be glass."

They both laughed hysterically, and of course Jen and I joined in the laughter as well. 🤣

Bigger Mustache

"Wow! Daddy, you're eating that pizza fast!" said Nolan.

I replied, "Yep! That's because I'm bigger than you. I have bigger teeth, I have a bigger mouth, and I have a bigger stomach. So I eat it much faster."

"You also have a bigger mustache," he said.

Delaney is Sick Too!

"Mommy, what are you doing?" Delaney asked.

"I'm getting Nolan some juice because he's not feeling well," Jen replied.

"Why are you doing that?"

I said to her, "Because it's good to have liquids in your body. We want him to drink juice since he's sick."

"It looks like I'm sick too," Delaney said.

:-)

Where is Jesus Sitting?

We were setting the table, preparing for dinner...

Nolan: "Who is going to sit there?"

Delaney: "Jesus!"

Nolan: "No, he's not sitting there because He's in our heart."

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe

Nolan's version, which he heard from kids at school and altered to make it his own:

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a tiger toes.
If he lets go.
If my Mom will poop in her pants then that will be it.

Grown-up Stuff

Jen: "I don't feel like doing grown-up stuff right now."

Nolan: "But Mom, you have to."
