The little ones had fun getting the things they had asked for from Santa. In our house the girls get to ask for three things from Santa The three gifts represents the three gifts the wise men gave to Jesus. They really need to think hard for what they want. They are so excited when Santa pulls through. They get gifts from mom and dad of course but this year it was definitely downsized. It was awesome.
We had a blue versus red Christmas. It was very nice this year to downsize the presents and really focus on the giving part of Christmas. The girls really had to think about what they wanted the most. For Kylee and Megyn it was BYU or UTAH clothing. It was fun to see them excited about what they got. One special thing about this Christmas was that one of my daughters decided that the only presents she wanted was wishes. She wished for a boy in our neighborhood would not feel any pain during his surgery and the other was for kids at her school to be nice to another little girl in our ward. This is very touching for a mom. I asked her if she would like a letter from the moms telling her if these two children were doing well. She told me that she didn't need a letter she was sure Santa Claus would take care of it. This is the Christmas spirit at work, wanting the best for others. What an example my children are for me!
