More Christmas
We definately had a good Christmas. Clayton didn't want to come out of the bedroom when he heard Santa had been here. I guess he thought he was still here. Greg told him he'd left and he gladly came into the living room then. I have a real problem with 'Santa.'
Mixed feelings at least. A patient once explained to me that we hype Santa up so much at Christmas time and encourage our children to 'believe' in him. Later in life they find out that Santa was just a big STORY aka LIE. She made me wonder if they feel the same about Jesus. We encourage them to believe in him also in much the same way. I can only pray that Clayton will not think I was lying to him about Jesus living in his heart.
I will continue as he gets older to hold back the urge to tell him Santa is watching. And I will definatley tell him the truth as often as needed.
Christmas
Clayton wasn't too rotten after opening all his presents. We've been trying to get into a routine after the Holiday. He starts school the middle of January, a week before I go back to work.
Jason finally holds Greta. He really needs the practice. Baby Mason Griffin Jones will be here in a month. We can't wait!
Katie was so excited about the princess dresses. Her joy was contagious!
And Hunter definately did not want to get off his 4 wheeler!
