We have been busy with parties as we get closer to Christmas. Last night was my Grandma's annual party with Santa and last Saturday was JayDee's company party at Beaver Mountain. Klein didn't want to sit on Santa's lap at either party. Preslee didn't really care and Max was just excited and curious about the whole thing. Hehas been asking a lot of questions about Santa lately and hopefully we have answered them correctly. The other night he even included Santa in our family prayer... "please bless Santa not to put me on the naughty list."
JayDee's party was fun but it is a chore to get everything to Beaver Mountain and keep everyone happy in a foreign place as well as keep getting them dressed and undressed with their snow clothes. Max got a special treat- a long ride in the snow cat/groomer. He was terrified of the snow cats when he was younger but was so excited when the driver offered him a ride. He told me they went to all kinds of secret places that he couldn't tell me about. He was gone for a long time and I started to worry but he was very excited. Unfortunately, Jason lost the keys to his truck-- the only set that he had so we had a crazy Sunday trying to get a new key made and Jason ended up going to Beaver to look again. Since I didn't have a car, my dad came and picked us up to go to College Ward. I was disappointed because they didn't have a Christmas program and I look forward to that every year.
We have tried to stay focused on the birth of Christ this season. Every year we only have one gift under the tree until Christmas morning-- our gift to our Savior. It is a good reminder about what is important.
