Christmas Party

Last year it seemed like we missed out on every Christmas party. This year, we've already had our first Christmas party! We had a pretty delicious dinner at the church, then the Primary children acted out the Nativity and we sang songs. Santa and Mrs. Claus came too!! Damon was a wiseman and since he loves gold, was asked to give Baby Jesus the gift of gold. We went to Michael's and found a treasure box, then painted it and put yellow and gold things inside...he's been playing with it all week. He was really cute standing on the stage with all the other kids...I can't believe he is old enough to participate. Tommy went crazy when he saw Santa...he was really excited to go up and see Santa and get a candy cane. Damon was pretty excited too except he was worried that he hadn't written his list yet. We talked all the way home about the "realness" of the Santa he spoke to and how he wanted to go to the North Pole and be an elf. We've had a busy, stressful week and it was nice to end the week with a happy reminder of the Christmas season.
