Santa Claus

Every year a neighbor in our neighborhood dress’s up as Santa and has a party outside their home. We eat hot cocoa and cookies. I love it because we get to chat and meet other neighbors. Santa also raffles off an handmade toy that is made out of wood. This year it was an amazing barn. He is so good with wood craft. The kids love to look at it and hope that their ticket will be drawn. Every year it isn’t. I feel bad. Our poor kids have been born into the loser family. We just don’t have the luck to win. But still we get excited every year.

Cameron was SO excited to hang with Santa. He kept going and holding his hand and walking around with him. When I would ask where Cameron was… I would find him with Santa. Santa loved it. One time I looked and he was walking with Santa and looking up at him with the cutest eyes. He was in heaven. I wonder what he dreamed about last night? It really was special to see. I am so glad we have great neighbors. Maybe next year we can win?? We can only hope.

Here are a few pics we took. It’s with my phone camera so the quality is not there. I forgot my regular camera. You can still see the fun though:-)

A little about my Michael…


My sweet little Michael turned 8 in November. What a sweet boy he is. He is always being goofy to make us laugh. He has a tender heart too. He was SO excited to get baptized this month. He had his birthday on a Wednesday and that following Saturday was our wards baptism day. What an awesome day it was for all of us. I was able to lead the music at his baptism just like I did for Ricky. It was neat. Michael just couldn’t wait. For his birthday his Grammy and Grandpa gave him his scriptures. He carries them around with him ALL the time. He is so proud to have them. At his baptism he was a little quiet. I think he was taking it all in. At least I hope so. Now he keeps asking about the Holy Ghost. He is such a smart little man. I just love him. Daddy baptized him and confirmed him. I am so happy to have the priesthood in my home.

Daddy and Michael before the baptism!

Mason, Michael, and Kolbe. Some of Michael’s best friends:-)

This is Michael sleeping in Hudsons bed in our room. Apparently he had a nightmare and went and snuggled Hudson. I’m sure it’s because he knew we would have sent him back to his room. He is TOO cute!!

Here he is with loosing his first tooth!!! He was so scared that it would hurt. But survived!

Here is more of Michael’s friends…Preston, Michael, and Rebecca. They all have lost their first tooth too!! So swesome!!!!
