Kara (almost 4):
-"My heart was beeping really fast."
-(trying to sing along with a Christmas song:) "Do you eat what I eat?"
-"There's three things that are bright outside: Jesus, Heaven, and the sun."
-(while praying:) "We thank you for we love Santa Claus..."
-Said to me in an exasperated tone, "How many times do you have to tell me to do something?"
-Can be a great helper

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!

My brother is 21 today. He's currently serving a mission in Northern California and loving every minute of it. We hope he had a great day!
