The Reason for the Season

I Love Christmas.  This December I found myself continually grateful for two wonderful blessings in my life: a knowledge of our Savior, and my wonderful family.  It is so great to have a whole month dedicated to our Lord Jesus Christ and the spirit and love he brought to the earth.  I found my joy multiplied throughout the season because my boys are such a fabulous age to talk about the reason for the season and do so many fun things associated with Christmas.  I now it is now 2012 and Christmas is past, but I must record some of our favorite Christmas memories.
Picking our Christmas tree.  This isn't the one we picked, just a good little photo op.  
Graham thoroughly enjoyed all the Christmas lights this season
I love living so close to temple square at Christmas.  We toured the square this year with nana, papa, uncle Jake and uncle Ty.   


We attended the Christmas play "Toyland" at the children's theater.  Graham was scared, but Beckett loved it.  He got so caught up in the moment that he forgot he didn't like Santa.  When the play was over he ran up to sit on Santa's lap for the first time in his life.



Our first gingerbread house

Here are some of the best Nativity performers you have ever seen.

For the fist time in Beckett's life he asked for a specific present, a Batman train set.  He doesn't like Santa but he wanted to ensure his request would be filled so he wrote his letter and sat on Santa's lap.  Santa came through, and just as I suspected, he has hardly played with the thing.   

Graham just wanted a donut for Christmas


The Day after Christmas I took the boys to St. George to hang out with nana and the great grandma and grandpa Boyer.
