Madden's Santa Letter 2013

November 23, 2013

Dear Santa,

Hi. How are you? I’m Madden Gillis and I’m 4. And I want for Christmas:

·       NHL 2014

·       A car thingy, like a Jeep thing.

·       I want a car road and some cars, like little dinkies… like a car road. Not just a mat. A car road.

That’s it.

I love hockey. I want to try to be a better hockey player and make lots of goals. And I hope I will be a better listener. (Geez, he’s gonna like this one!) And I’m done writing about my presents cuz somebody else might get some presents for me. What?! People do that kind of thing.

I want you to have some chips and Coke pop when you come to my house.  Oh! And you have to take a bottle of Dad’s wine home to your wife. I hope you have a good time!

That’s it.

Thanks!

Love, 

Madden

This month's edition of the Madden Gillis Hockey News

• Madden has just informed me he's a "STIPER" in hockey. I replied, "I think you mean 'sniper'". He says, "NOooooo. It's a STIPER cuz I use my STICK to score lotsa goals. I don't use my snick. I'm practicing..." ooooooooookkkkkkkkkkkkkkk then...

• Madden was just watching the French CBC station. I asked him what he was doing,
  "I'm practicing. A lot of hockey players speak French you know."

Madden's debut in an Eagles jersey!

Madden had his first turn at being a Timbit at a Screaming Eagles game on November 16th. His excitement and nervousness was almost uncontainable!!!

Very first day at hockey!

Some pics from Madden's first day of hockey, September 2013

Can I just post a bunch & call them Good Lord?!??!

Here's how he signs the guest book / plate at a wedding:

-------------------------------

Madden's final thoughts on the family reunion, playing with cousins, being exhausted, etc:
"I can't figure out why they called him 'Milk-um' (Malcolm). Do they think he came from a cow or something?" Yep. Lol.

-----------------------------------------

From my Aunt Sheila's Facebook Post:

Omg ---they are the sweetest little set of cuties ----they were so excited and so good all night ----laughed. Giggled , and never missed a trick -----That Madden is friggen priceless ----when we got home there were two raccoons at my garbage can ----mr pipes up and says """oops mom and dad are here "" ahead of me -and laughs his guts out !!


------------------------------------------

Totally impromptu step dancing lessons in the kitchen with Madden. "I already know how to do my jiggities... and da udder one is like this 'Toe shuffle bang bang'... or is it 'Toe shuffle hop bang?!'"

==================================

Madden came home from Playgroup today with this creation, which he told me was Uncle Dale. I think the resemblance is uncanny. Especially those Apple Bottom Jeans  lol 

======================================================

So, Madden was explaining to Kyle Gillis how he was at "The Dome" yesterday. Kyle keeps saying, "Where?!? Where?!" And Madden's trying his best to explain where it is by the "see doughs windmills" (aka CBU... which is also a dig at Ma). Kyle pipes up and says, "OH! The Liquor Dome! You were at the Liquor Dome!" To which Madden replies... all annoyed, "NO! There's no ice cream there!" LMAO

(Get it? Licker? Liquor?! LOL) 

Too smart for his own good, in my humble opinion....

While playing in the living room we were pretty sure we heard a certain F word being uttered by his little voice.

"DID YOU JUST SAY THE F-WORD, MADDEN?!?!" Kyle exclaims

"I accidentally said the F word. But I meant to say I wanted a drink. I didn't mean it. I PROMISE...." and he continues, just to smooth things over, "And really, when you think about it, it sounds a lot like another F word... FART!"

Then he proceeded to explain the phonetics of both to Kyle. LOL






It's almost bed time. Taing do Dhia!

Reflections on his sister's 1st Communion

> "Does God have a pecker?!?!"


Now... What were we talking about again? LOL
