Santa found me!!

Christmas was so fun with Trace. He loved his presents but I think his favorite thing was the shiny wrapping paper. He just kept looking at and grabbing it. Hopefully these blocks will be as entertaining to him as the wrapping paper was!

Our first family Christmas!! Lisa made a delicious Christmas breakfast with eggs, muffins, hashbrowns and even maple bacon!! HMMMM.
A new pair of overalls! Pot belly poncho really needed these. You can tell he likes them! ;)

Despite the funny look on Trace's face he seemed to like the music on this CD of lullabys!

This beautiful specimen was surprised to see that Santa left his boots under the tree and they mysteriously fit her perfectly! ;)

Who wouldn't love not one, not two, but THREE bottles of bubbles!Double chin and chubby cheeks.

Little piglet likes to hold his bottle. He loves the cereal and next week starts mashed carrots :)
What a lucky little bundle. Trace got lots of fun toys and things. Who knew we could have just gotten him some wrapping paper and he would have been thrilled to no end. ;) I guess theres always next year!!

A niño and his Christmas dog!

Kenya is doing here what I love doing, sleeping in front of the fireplace!
Who am I? Lisa or Kody?

The orange in the sock trick!

Santa put oranges in the toe of our stockings growing up. I thought he only did this for us, but I guess he did it for Lisa's family too!

Lucky for me I like oranges.

Lisa and I made a list of some of the things that Santa brought us through the years... He has been busy!

Now onto the real meaning of Christmas... Today we gave our lesson on the birth of baby Jesus. Lisa even brought her wooden nativity to help teach the kids about the birth of the Savior. The kids in our class are 4-5 year olds. After emphasising the importance of Jesus and the gifts that we all can give without spending any money at all, we called on one of the kids to say the closing prayer. She prayed a beautiful prayer and as she ended she said, "and I love Santa. Please tell Santa to bring me a scooter, and tell him I still believe in him!".
