As a result Jaden is officially scared of Santa . . . I didn't really think that one through . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#9 "We are soooo getting FLU SHOTS next year!"  (Aubrey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt; - age 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Have I said this more than #10? . . . es possible  . . .that's Cuban for "Yes!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#8 "Mom, did Santa see that?"

(Madeleine - &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;age 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Said in a deep mocking voice, which Santa very much appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#6 "That's disgusting! MOMMY  THAT'S DISGUSTING!!!" (Jaden &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;- age 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Jaden's opinion of  Mommy praying to the porcelain god . . . dumb lock on the bathroom door broke . . .and I thought the boy would never speak . . . We are soooo getting FLU SHOTS next year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#5 "How much longer are you going to be sick for?"  (Larry &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;-age 38 &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;cradle robber&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Said to his poor wife, who miraculously rose from her death bed long enough to inflict some holiday hall Decking. FLU SHOTS . . . yada . . . yada . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#4 "Mom, Jaden  just flushed a bunch of stuff down the toilet!" (Madeleine -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;age 5)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Luckily the silverware proved un-flush-able. I'm still missing a thumb-drive, dishwasher cap, and the lambs from the nativity set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#3 "MADI NOOOOOO!!!!"  (Jaden &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;- age 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Screamed in a tear-choked voice right before he took her down with a full body tackle.  She was planning to tattle about his latest toilet fiasco.  Santa saw everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#2 "You sound doubtful . . .was it an EPT test or a Magic 8-Ball?"  (Aubrey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt; - age 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Said  in a conversation on Christmas Eve.  Christmas is all about babies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;#1 "JADEN, SANTA IS WATCHING YOU RIGHT NOW ! ! !" (Aubrey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt; - age 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;)&lt;br /&gt;Yelled at the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Christmas Eve Goodwin Family Devotional&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;.  The boy had just received a Christmas gift from his adoring Grand Ma and Pa.  During a temper tantrum the unopened gift was  lifted over his head. He was going to chuck it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;epilogue: Jaden did indeed chuck the gift in front of grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. etc.  The reactions varied from ghoulish delight to covert disparagement of the child's parents and the common consent that the Soules have very little to do with "Peace on earth, Good will to men".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;P.S. The gift was Monster Pajamas . . . he is still wearing them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;P.S.
