Christmas

Top 10 Favorite things about Christmas 2010.

1. Seeing Claire get totally excited about opening her presents even though she accidently saw them several days before.

2. Seeing the kids in their Christmas jammies.

3. Christmas Eve morning Claire grabbed Lukes phone and insisted he call Santa and tell him not to come. Apparently she was getting quite nervous about him coming. Okay, actually still terrified!!! And I was more than happy to let her have her way since she had been waking up in the middle of the night crying, hiding in the other room when someone knocked at the door, etc.

4. Santa did not come to our house this year. And yes, I have been getting dirty looks from people when Claire tells them that Santa did not come. And she has been excitedly telling everyone that she got a candy cane for Christmas.

5. Spending Christmas Eve with our family in Tooele and Erda and Christmas day in Salt Lake. Plus the food was really yummy.

6. Buying something for our ward's Angle Tree.

7. We spent more time talking to Claire about the birth of Jesus instead of focusing on Santa....and she got it.

8. Traditions, traditions, and more traditions. Some old, some new.

9. Endless hours of ping pong at my Dad and Holly's.

10. Spending this special day with my two favorite people.
