SANTA

I am loving this Christmas season

more than ever,

probably because Parker

is finally old enough to teach

about the true meaning of Christmas

but also Santa and Christmas Trees.

This past week we went

to our ward Christmas party

and Parker finally got to meet Santa.

He wasn't quite sure about

the bearded creature

once we got up close,

but Santa bribed him with candy

and then everything was good.

We have been watching the

Christmas episode

of Curious George and

it has gotten Parker all excited 

about this month.

I have never like Santa

from the age of 2

but I don't want to pass that

fear on to my children.

I still hate the thought of seeing

Santa but in the end

I love teaching Parker about

the magic of Christmas.
