"Lillian," I said, "Today I've got a surprise for you. Guess where we're going? I'm taking you to meet someone.""Who?"
"It's someone that has white hair and wears red."
"Is it Grandma?"
"No . . . This is someone who has white hair, wears red and has a big white beard."
"Oh! Great Grandma!"
"No! Great Grandma doesn't have a beard, this is someone who drives a sleigh."
"Great Grandpa!"
"No! Someone who has lots of reindeer friends!"
"Uncle Luke?"
"NO! This is someone who comes to our house on Christmas Eve, comes down the chimney and brings us lots of presents!"
"Oh!" She proudly paused and said, "It's Uncle Kendall!"
I give up. She really needs to get out more.

Congratulations to Christie from Tremonton, Utah for winning the Triple Holiday Giveaway--she's won the pop up card from Crankbunny, the set of buttons from Minor Thread and the poppy bobby pins from Foundling. More this coming Saturday. . .
And congratulations to Kathryn from Anchorage for winning the Great Alaskan TourSaver coupon book. It should make for a fun summer.

Hilarious! I think I have her twin over at my place : )
I have an award for you in my December 6th post Michelle - you'll have to scroll down a bit : )
Hee hee! That's too funny! Especially about great grandma having a beard;)
too many relatives and not enough friends...I hope great grandma doesn't read blogs...
That is SO sweet. I think it is wonderful that she has so many relatives around! VERY CUTE story!!!
That is a precious story. I love moment like that with my kids.
Don't know exactly how I came across your blog, but glad I stopped in! That was a cute story! You should enter it over in Tiny Talk Tuesday at www.notbefore7.com
I'll be back from time to time...

Oh, Michelle, that is priceless. So glad it's saved for posterity now!
Funny! At least you know she's not focused on Santa 24/7!
haha! Maybe the real question is why all of your relatives look like Santa, hang out with reindeer, and are coming down your chimney...
We're doing Santa photos Thursday - that should be an interesting conversation as well.
Ok, that's too funny!
LOL, too funny and cute! And what an adorable photo of her. :)

Using My Words
Ha ha. Kids are hilarious.
Sometimes you wonder why you started!

This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.
Well, at least her focus is on the family and not on the jolly. red guy. Sooo funny!
My kids don't even know who the Big Guy is. Everytime they see him they say, "Look! A snowman!"
Obviously they don't have a lot of experience with snow, either.
I try.
That is too funny!
LOL, that is just too cute! :)
That is so cute!
That is just too, too precious Michelle! You should make sure that goes into her scrapbook !
Kids really do say the funniest things...sometimes!
Maybe you should get Great Grandma a gift certificate to an electrologist's salon.
This is a hoot!
That is too funny!
No question about the center of Christmas at your house, though! ;)
I'm dying to meet your relatives. They sound like an amazing bunch.
I'm thinking Great Grandma might need to start plucking a bit, lol. Poor great grandma!
Oh my goodness...that is so funny, especially with all of the crazy "Santaness" everywhere. I can't get him off my kids minds!
Happy Tiny Talk Tuesday - that was cute.
LOL! I think she and the Howler would get along just fine!
That's funny. She must be so fond with her relatives for thinking like that.
