I love having a three year old at Christmas time. The wonder in his eyes at all the magic of Christmas is so fun. He makes Christmas so exciting! He was so excited to put out milk and cookies for Santa and to see if he would eat them - which Santa did and told me they were very yummy! He went to bed so excited and it took him awhile to actually get to sleep because he was so excited. He woke up about 8:00 and I made him cover his eyes while I took him past all the presents into our room so we could get Daddy and Conner. We had dad go check to make sure that Santa actually came and turned on some Christmas music. Joel was so excited he kept opening the door and jumping up and down. When we finally (dad took a LONG time!) got to open up the door we saw:
Conner got a ball pit ( I think I am going to have to have a talk with Santa about messes! ;) ) Which he loved and he opened the rest of his presents in his ball pit!
Daddy got Final Fantasy XIII which he has already started playing!
I got a set of keys
Now you might ask yourself what these keys to to, well I will tell you. They go to my very own motorcycle (scooter is probably a better word but since I'm trying to be cool like daddy we call it a motorcycle!) I was very excited about it and it is a lot of fun to ride! So thank you Santa!!!!
We had such a fun day and a day to remember our Savior. I sat there looking at my family as they interacted with each other and just felt so thankful for them. So I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and felt that special spirit of love. I have a quote in a frame on one of my shelves that says " love is what you feel at Christmas when you stop opening presents and listen." So I hope everyone stopped for just a moment and felt the love that was around as you all spent time with family and loved ones.
Merry Christmas!
