Ward Christmas Party

 Our Ward Christmas Party was on Saturday night December 3rd

They asked Jeremy and I to play Mary and Joseph and Lucelia was asked to play Baby Jesus

She was a sweet little baby Jesus

I wish I had a picture of the Manger scene with us standing by it.  Absolutely beautiful.  My Dad was one of the Three Wisemen. 

I am so glad that the Broomfield Ward still has Santa come to see the kids at the end of the party.

I remember Christmas's from my youth, waiting in line in that same building to see Santa.  

It is fun to be back and enjoy the same traditions for a couple of years.

Xander loved, loved and may I say LOVED Santa.

He cried when he had to leave the Jolly old Elf.

Xander is asking for Tidmouth Sheds and Edward, (Thomas the Train Toys)

Santa was a little confused on who "Edward" was, so I said it is a Thomas Toy, to Santa.  Santa said, "Oh you want a Thomas Toy"

Xander received his Candy Cane from Santa and about 5 minutes later, I found him with big tears streaming down his face.  I asked him what was the matter and he said,

"Mom, I need to see Santa again, you told him I wanted Thomas"

"I have, Thomas, I want Edward"

I then had to explain that "Santa" knew you had Thomas and wanted Edward but he was not convinced and Cried the whole way home until I explained that Santa was "Watching" and he caught onto that pretty quick and the crying ceased.

I am real excited this year.  My first year of my little believer.  I hope I get a believer for a long time.

I have been waiting for a long time to give the Magic of  Christmas to my Child.

Merry Christmas!
