Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
















Christmas Eve we had a nice time. We had some friends over and had yummy finger foods and played games until it was time to get ready for Santa to come. After they left we had Rafe open his Christmas pajamas. Rafe got Super Hero jammies and he loves them. Once we got him all ready for bed we read the Nativity story from the scriptures and then it was time for bed. Christmas morning about 7am we heard from the family room, "Mama, TRACTOR!" We got out of bed and went in to see what Santa had brought Rafe. It was his very own tractor that he could ride. He was sitting on it in the tree because it was so close to the tree. He was so excited!! He got so many neat things from Santa, Mom and Dad, and from other family members. He got giant building blocks, lots of puzzles and books, a race track with cars, a space backpack, lots of clothes, and CANDY from his stocking. He had so much fun playing with all of his toys. He would put them in the scoop and/or trailer of his tractor and haul them all over the house. It was so fun to watch him. His nap was so short because he was so excited to play with his toys. Ahh Christmas as a kid.....what great times.
