Merrrryyyy Christmas Marshall!!
Thank you for sending me your email all the way from Orem! The Net sure is wonderful because now I can get emails from Orem and around the world in the blink of an eye. Even Rudolph gets emails... from pets! Why, here's Rudolph right now! HO!! Ho!! ho!! He just asked me to say 'Hi!' to you!

Rudolph put this on personally, just for you Marshall!Jumping Jingle Bells, Marshall! I still remember bringing you your very first Christmas present and here you are 3 years old already! I hope you are getting excited about Christmas because I am really looking forward to visiting your home! Rudolph said he's really excited about visiting your home too! I also hear you've been a REALLY REALLY good boy. (Of course, you won't mind if I do a little checking, will you? HO!! Ho!! ho!!).

Let's see what you put in your letter for Christmas wishes: 1. train; 2. train and; 3. train. May all your Christmas wishes come true!HO!! Ho!! ho!! I see you wrote 'train' a couple of times in your letter. I guess you must *really* want that for Christmas! I know we'll do our very best for you, but special requests like yours can sometimes be hard for the elves. So, I hope you won't be sad if you don't get your special request (but I know we'll still try our very best for you)!

Oh yes, and please say "Hi!" to your brother for me! I always look forward to the elves' "Naughty & Nice" reports about your brother because they are always so very interesting to read! The elves even told me that they made something special for him already!

Oh! Oh! I guess I better go because one of the elves just unplugged the Northern Lights again! Take care Marshall and don't forget to come back and visit me here at EmailSanta.com on Christmas Eve!! And remember... only 14 more sleeps until Christmas!!

Lots of Love,
Santa Claus

Thank you Marshall for thinking of me!P.S. Ahh! That nice cola you sent me sure was refreshing! Its thirsty work getting ready for Christmas so "Thank You" Marshall!

P.P.S. I've attached a special postmarked copy of your email below so you can print it off and show it to all your friends or put it on your fridge.

Can I just say I am SOOO happy right now finding old Naperville friends?! This is so fun. Your family is cute, I will have to look more soon!; December 12, 2007 at 9:38 AM

Autumn said...: Oh my word-excuse my typo-sorry, Aprilyn. I'm so sorry!!! I was seriously so excited. Just for the record, APRILYN is a holy name in our family, everyone is nuts for you.; December 12, 2007 at 2:56 PM
Aprilyn said...: LOL Autumn. That's because I AM NUTS!!!!!! I am so glad you found me.
Aprilyn is a wacky name here. I have to keep laughing to keep from cracking from stress. I wrote a little bit about that in my new post.
I'm gonna look through my old pictures. I think I have one of you. I know I have one of Amy sitting on her bed in that big upstairs room of yours. Isn't it great how close we all became? We got to be such good friends in a few short months before I moved.; December 12, 2007 at 3:25 PM
Practically Perfect In Every Way said...: ok, i'm writing you about santa... (since we don't have a Naperville past - but do these girls know the secret to unlocking your girly side????)

very cool letter!!!; December 14, 2007 at 12:06 AM
Aprilyn said...: Don't count on it Jen. They know and love the tomboy Aprilyn. :)

Oh, and I went to Kohls the other day. I found some great T-shirts but they were too small. They didn't make the same shirts in 1X (plus size as I'm sure you know). It's like...sorry, if you're bigger than this, you must dress like your grandmother because that's about all we offer. I managed to get a few things but now I need to go back today to get a shirt that won't totally clash with the rest of my family when we have our pictures done today.; December 14, 2007 at 9:38 AM

Kids Say The Darndest Things...

For FHE tonight, we were looking at pictures of some of the things President Monson does. There was a picture of President Monson and some children at a temple dedication. Marshall asked if President Monson was DECORATING the temple. HAHAHA! He seriously makes me laugh so much.
Today while we were driving to Idaho Falls, we saw some black rainclouds, and some white ones too. We told Marshall that the black clouds have rain in them. A few minutes later, Grandma, who was in the car with us, was saying something about styrofoam. Marshall said, "Oh! I know! The black clouds are made of rain, and the white clouds are made of styrofoam. That's why you can walk right through them!
There was an Asian Lady Beetle on our kitchen windowsill today, and Marshall was really upset about it! He yelled, "OH NO! There's an OTTINGER BUG IN OUR HOUSE!!"
Marshall:"I can still write the Bucklein kind in German." (I have no idea why he said that. This is part of the fun of having a child with Autism.)
Marshall: "My other favorite word is forest." Ok..that one came out of nowhere.
Brian was trying to teach Marshall about the sounds vowels make. This time he was talking to him about why our last name sounds the way it does. We have always taught him that when 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. Well, Brian told him that in German (our last name is German), when 2 vowels go walking, the 2nd one does the talking. Marshall asked, "They can't say their L's?"
Marshall: "Dad, what's your favorite word? Love? Mom? Wanna know probably the biggest word I know? Probably the 'docious word'. (Translation: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious)
What is the biggest word you know? Marshall: "Fight".
Marshall: "The thing I hate most terribly in my life is singing."
Marshall (with his arms wrapped around my neck): "Mom, I care for you." Ohhh...how sweet.
Marshall: "Dad, you are handsome.:
When we were hiking Squaw Peak, Marshall said, "HI DUDE!" to everyone he saw. Then, he decided to say, "See ya later Alligator." He thought that was funny, but then he saw a woman, so instead of saying, "See ya later Alligator", he decided to say, "See ya later Alli-Woman!"
We asked Marshall if he learned about Jesus on Easter Sunday. Nate asked if they showed him a picture of Jesus on the cross, the thing that has two boards going together like this (he made the shape of a cross). Marshall said, "It was a T that smushes him together. They (the bad guys) took his (Jesus') shoes and socks off so it would hurt more. So he was bare feet and they put nails in his feet. Isn't that ouch?" I asked what happened after that and he said, "Jesus said I"ll be alive in 3 days and he woke up and came alive and now he can never die!"
Brian was telling Marshall that Nathan is getting so big! He said, "Nathan is ten! In two more years he will be twelve and hold the Priesthood!" Marshall said, "He only needs two more grown ups to hold it!"
Marshall told me he has a lotter pirates than Nathan. A lotter? That means more than a lot.
Marshall always lays on the floor next to the bathroom door whenever Nathan goes in there. We try to get him to leave Nathan alone but he just won't. One day Nathan went into the bathroom and Marshall said, "Nathan, are you almost done?" Nathan said yes. Marshall then asked, "One more poop, then you're done?" Nathan gets so embarrassed by Marshall.
Nathan went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Marshall knocked on the door and said, "Nathan, if you need help, I'll be right here."
Tonight when we were doing sparklers, Marshall asked if he could do another sprinkler.
Today Marshall told me that if anyone is mean to his brother he will smash them with a panyo (piano) and they will be flat like a turkey sandwich. He loves his brother!!
While we were in the car taking Brian to school, Marshall and I had the following conversation: Marshall- "I don't have any points." ME- "When will you get points?" Marshall: "In 20 years when I am nine. When I am nine I will have numbers. Then we will have to go to the gag shop to get more numbers."
We had a Family Home Evening Lesson on The Plan of Salvation. Things were going well as we showed Marshall the cut outs we had for each of the 3 Kingdoms which we will end up in after the Judgement Day. He looked it over and pointed to the Telestial World and said "I will go there." "NO," I exclaimed. That is the bad one. He said "I will go to the bad one." Then it hit me. He was picking this one because it was a star. "Are you saying that because it's a star shape and Twinkle Little Star is your favorite song," I asked? "Yup. I want to go to the star one." For the closing song he wanted to sing Twinkle Little Star that is Bad.
We were talking about thieves and how they can go to jail if they get caught. Nathan said "I won't thief." I wondered what he was talking about so I asked him. He said "Thieving is wrong, Mom." OHHHH...you meant STEALING!!
Marshall woke up with a really stuffy nose and said "My nose can't breathe."
Marshall went with me to Wal-Mart today so Brian could work on his research. I bribed my little one by telling him if he went with me, I would buy him a toy. He wanted a Thomas train so badly but I convinced him to settle with a Mickey Mouse figure that comes with a scooter. He got very frustrated with the toy because he couldn't put Mickey on the "screwdriver". It took me a while to figure out that he meant scooter. Haha...so cute.
Today Marshall went to the doctor for his 3 yr old checkup. When the nurse asked "How are you Marshall?" he said "I have to get 2 shots." As we were leaving, he saw the same nurse again and said with a grumpy look on his face "I do NOT like shots!" She laughed so hard.
Marshall: "I'm a warewolf AWOOO!!"
When Nathan was probably 5, I got him new pajamas..the kind with a "fly" in them. He stuck his hand through it and said "Look Mom! I have a new pocket!!"
Marshall and I were playing Cranium Cariboo when he suddenly stopped and said "Can I please have a slice of water." At least he was polite! :)
