BIRTHDAY CAKE

The other day we were coming home from Brooklyn's gymnastics. She was a little tired and cranky on the way home. So to cheer her up I said to her " Brooklyn, in a couple of day's we are going to drive and drive and drive for a long time. And when we are done driving we will see our Grandma and Grandpa's and we will see Jeremy, Jake, Angie, Erika, Abby, Isaac" (you can see were this is going) I named everyone in our families and the whole time she was just staring at me with wide eyes. Every once in a while she would repeat a name back to me. Then I said "And, Brooklyn guess who else is coming?? Santa is coming to bring some toys for us to play with." Her whole face lights up and she says " oh, I sited (excited) mommy. Sissy is sited too! (meaning Nikell is excited too.)
Later that night as I am putting her to bed after songs and prayer she goes " drive and drive? Jeremy, Jake, Abby, Grandma, Grandpa? Santa bring me toy's and candy?"
Maybe you had to be there but it was seriously so dang funny. I was amazed that she remembered so many names of family we don't see very much.
Brooklyn is so excited for Christmas. She says to us all the time "Its Christmas time? Santa coming? bringing Birthday cake? (apparently that's what she wants for Christmas this year) Then after I say yes to all of those things she goes "yipee, yahoo, wahoo, wahee." She had to have learned that from her dad!
We just love little Bing she is such a sweet girl and she really says the cutest things. It really makes Christmas even more fun for us to watch her get so excited about it.
