Julia is ecstatic, the twins are having a great time, but last night Julia’s mash-up of Christmas and Disney had me rolling. She was playing with our children-friendly nativity scene, she had the wise-men, shepherds, animals, baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and two fairies. “Julia” I said “are you sure that those aren’t angels?” and she said “no Daddy, they are fairies.”

I will try to keep this post clean. Last week I got home from work, ate dinner and threw all 3 kids into the tub. No problems yet, everything was going according to plan. Then I looked down and noticed that Luke had provided us with a floater. EVERYONE OUT OF THE TUB! It was kind of like the pool scene from Caddyshack. So now the stress level is rising, I’ve got 3 naked kids standing on a towel while I disinfect the tub. All of a sudden my leg was feeling a bit warm and a bit wet. Let’s just say that I was to Lily what a hydrant is to a dog. I jumped into the newly disinfected tub rinsed my recently polluted leg and declared to my wife in a loud and defeated voice “I am officially done with all baths tonight.”

Kelly took over the bathing duties and I gladly took over washing the dishes – the white flag had gone up.

So what happens when you drive to New York and your wife with the lead foot is driving to the sound of a screaming 20 month old? Well eventually you might get pulled over. But what’s really funny is when your 4 1/2 year old looks at your wife and says “Mommy, why is there lightening in the car?”

Perfect timing Julia, perfect timing!

I’m sure that there are many funny letters for Santa out there, but seriously, this is the funniest I have ever read. Maybe I’m biased because she is my princess, but… wow this is funny. You just have got to give it a read.
