Happy New Year's Eve! Today you turn 64 months. You, Alex and Megan are all a little sick right now so we had a little New Year's Eve party just as a family tonight and you had so much fun! We had Chinese food for dinner and you and Alex sat at your new Cars table and chairs and watched Gnomeo and Juliet while you ate. Then we turned on some music and danced and ate snacks. We bought little New Year's party hats and noise makers and around 7:30 we did a little countdown to "midnight." You thought it was so fun we ended up doing the countdown twice!
You were so excited for Christmas this month. You did a bunch of Christmas workbook pages at school and made a Christmas ornament before school let out for the winter break. You loved decorating the Christmas tree and decorating Christmas cookies!
We had our ward Christmas party and you had so much fun. You got to wear your Christmas pajamas and listen to the story of the first Christmas. Then you got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what you wanted for Christmas. You told him you wanted a ghost! But there was a little stuffed ghost and he gave you that along with your candy cane!
We went to Zoolights and had fun looking at all the lights. You liked the small animals building and looking at all the snakes and frogs and things too. That night we all slept under the tree. This was the first year you got to go with us to the Forgotten Carols and the Christmas play at the Desert Star. You were really good and had a great time at both.
On Christmas Eve we went to the VanV's for a little party. We had snacks and exchanged presents. All the cousins reinacted the Christmas story and you were one of the wisemen. You were all so cute!
Christmas Day you got to open your presents at home and you got so many presents! Your new Cars table and chairs, some movies, a bunch of LEGOs, some clothes - all kinds of stuff. Then we went to church and then to Grandma's house for more presents. You got puzzles and games, more LEGOS, clothes, and a giant superheroes magnadoodle. Later that night we went out to the Martin's to spend time with your cousins again. It was quite a busy day but you had so much fun.
You are growing up so fast! Your reading is getting better and you recognize all the numbers to 30. You always have something interesting to tell us that you have learned from school or church or even tv. And you get so excited about EVERYTHING! It is so much fun to be your mom. I can't wait to see what the next year brings.
Love, Mommy

He's getting so tall. Oh my! So much fun as they get a little older and start seeing things differently. Love to hear the things they say and see how they react. Hilarious that he wanted a ghost.
