During the month of December, we heard Garrett sing "Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas" about a hundred-thousand times, and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" about two-hundred-thousand times! He was so excited for Christmas this year. We had a lot of fun at our ward Christmas party. Santa showed up...imagine the excitement...from all of us! Wyatt thinks a lot about Santa. He is trying to figure this guy out. Myself, I am not ready to give it up, yet! I love the excitement during the Christmas season. I love the good that Santa represents. I love teaching my children about the Saviour, and about his humble birth. All of our FHEs were focused on Christ and his birth and Christmas. We had a fun FHE with some special friends, the Buckleys, the Woods, and the Rosses. We are blessed with such good friends in our Sweet Mountain Home! We had such a fun Christmas with gifts from Grandma Kris, Nanny and Poppy, Keri and Pete, and Santa (of course!!)...We tried to focus on giving this year, and I have to say, the boys did such a great job thinking of others this year.
Here are some of my favorite pictures...

Garrett with, yet another, Optimus Prime
Wyatt diligently building his new LEGO setThanks for thinking of us Grandma Kris!!
Lissy playing with her gift bag from Nanny and Poppy
When Garrett opened his gift bag, he was awestruck, "Wow, I got 100 dollars!" Thank YOU Nanny! I didn't have the heart to tell him it wasn't exactly $100!!
For those of you who don't know, Nanny has a fettish with fun socks. We look forward to her fun finds every year. This year, she found socks that light up! How cool is that! Wyatt wore his until we had to scape them off his feet with a chisel!
Thanks Nanny and Poppy! We love you!
The Big Man Finally Came!!
"How did he know that I wanted that?" Hum, I don't know...
Garrett was sooooooo, sooooo, so happy to finally "see his baby tiger"...
Wyatt did not think that we were going through the presents fast enough...
Lissy did not know what to think, but she sure liked the candy jars!

What fun pictures! Your kids are so sweet! I am glad you had a good Holiday. I wish when I got $10 it was really $100, too. Kids are so cute with money, I think it makes them feel more grown up.
It looks like you had a great Christmas. have a great new year,
