We had such a great Christmas this year. We always go to cut down a fresh tree. It is a fun tradition that we all love but oh my hannah it was COLD! We found a tree that was perfect and soon we were coming back down the mountain to decorate. On Christmas Eve we had our traditional party with friends and family. After everyone went home we opened one present (pj's) and then told the boys they had to go to sleep or Santa Claus wouldn't come. Sam really grasped the concept of Santa Claus this year. On Christmas Eve we thought it would be fun to have the boys sleep in sleeping bags in our room. Sam really wasn't tired because he had taken a short nap earlier but he was sure trying to go to sleep so Santa could come. It was fun to see Seth interested in everything this year, too. When he sat on Santa's lap he told him confidently that he wanted a dinosaur. Poor Sam was quite shy and wouldn't even look and Santa let alone talk to the man. What funny boys. The best part was that Sam really loved hearing about the birth of Jesus Christ. Sam is getting ready to go into Sunbeams so he got to go to the Primary activity. They went to the Temple and saw the lights and nativity, and saw the Luke 2 movie in the visitor's center. After the movie I asked Sam what his favorite part was. He said the dragon...if you are confused that is because there is not a dragon in that movie. Oh, well. On the way home we talked about what he had seen and he asked lots of questions. It is good to see his interest.
