CHRISTMAS!!!!

This Christmas we were of course up north, but we decided to spend Christmas morning with Cordelle's parents who are leaving for a mission in 2 weeks!! We thought it would be a great opportunity to spend some extra time with them and we were so glad we did. I think they enjoyed having us spend Christmas morning with them as well. Seth was SO funny to watch open gifts. He has the best facial expressions and was so excited. Jaq just wanted to rip the wrapping paper until it was completely off, after which, she cried until we got her a new present to unwrap...the cycle continuing. (Should of just wrapped up empty boxes).

Oh but here's something weird, but that describes Seth to a "T". When he first woke up Christmas morning, we told him "Seth come see. Santa came and brought you some presents!!" I dont think he heard a word about presents, because all he did was start crying and refused to come upstairs because of Santa. I remembered that he was terrified of the fat red man but I didnt think he would put two and two together on Christmas morning. Finally I convinced him that Santa wasn't actually STILL here. He just dropped the presents off and then left. That much information got him up the first set of stairs till Cordelle's dad said, "looks like Santa came" to which he remembered his previous fear and once again started crying and retreating to the basement. I finally broke down and told him the gifts werent from Santa, that they were all from mom and dad, just so I could get him in the living room to open them....so much for fun Santa business. But that's Seth. Hopefully he'll forget my secret next year. However, once he saw the presents he had no reservations going to town on them. But hopefully this fear of Santa will subside by next Christmas.Seth in front of our tree

Christmas morning....no tree cause G&G Morris have everything stored up for their mission

Oh yea, and for Christmas this year Cordelle printed out my blog to a book! It is awesome. But I realized there a many gaps where I didnt write. So this year, now that I am going to continue to print out my blog as a journal, I think I am going to be much better at updating the blog! Thanks hunk!
