christmas on the brain

i absolutely LOVE this time of year! everyone is a little nicer, kinder, happier, friendlier. we've been trying to do a better job of teaching our children the true meaning of christmas. every night we've been reading stories of jesus out of the scriptures and we sing many christmas songs/hymns. it's been quite nice. but you never know if they really understand. so went our conversation yesterday.
mese: mom, can we buy some carrots? a BIG bag?
mom: uh yeah. i need to get some anyway for the cake i'm baking. why?
mese: i was just thinking...the reindeers work hard too and they might like a snack.
mom: i think you're right! that is a good idea mese:)

sila must have been concerned about santa's beverage and asked if we could put some soda out for the big guy. why not? it's christmas!
