He is out the door and ready for his interview! This is a big step for us and we need lots of prayers and good luck wishes! Atleast Adam does.. Good Luck Babe!!
NO wonder so many people mistake him as a girl.. Look at his eyes, he's just so pretty!
I love this little man!
He is so smart, so fun, and simply amazing! I learn so much from him and I know he learns so much every day. He is my sweet baby! In these pictures he would smile at the camera and then really big at me to show me that he was smiling!( He does this every morning when we play with toys. He likes to show mommy and daddy what he is doing, because he is really good at whatever it is!!) Too bad I was never in the right spot for the camera, I kept moving over!
It was so much fun! The photographer said he was a great baby to photograph, he just sits sit and poses!! Ha ha ha!! I think he had an Adam smile in these pic's , you know not his normal smile, just the one he will use in pictures!! :)
We had TONS of old manual pictures in random closets throughout the church. I asked the Primary President if I could have some so I could make the nursery kids a Christmas gift. I put together a book of pictures that they can look at and later write stories about during sacrament, and then use for talks in primary, and...okay so I am still making the "things you can do with a reverence book" list so they know more ways to use them! I think they will be great!
Even in my childhood years I never understood why I should believe in Santa. I didn't get who he was and what the purpose was, other than reindeer and getting presents. I did go along with it and I don't remember why but I just stopped believing in the "story". When I got older a friend told me when she has kids she is not going to lie to her kids about Santa. I never thought I would do the same but from then on I had the feeling like Santa was a make believe character, like the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. (maybe I haven't understood them yet). But Santa... Santa is real!
My sweet smart husband believes in Santa and he explained to me who he is. Santa is the spirit of giving. As I have grown more and become closer to the church I ponder often about spirits and the Holy Ghost. I have to do this so I can receive the revelation & direction I so desperately need. So, when Adam said this to me it made perfect sense. Santa is very real! He is the image of a man so selfless that he spends everyday making gifts and presents for all of God's children. He truly forgets about himself and desires to serve his brothers and sisters. He watches over us and hopes and most likely prays that we are behaving ourselves and "being good". He wants to bless us for obeying and is sad when he cannot give us the gifts he would like when we sin.
There is a lot more I can learn and compare to the gospel. When I do I think about my Savior. The wise men knew to bring gifts to the baby Jesus to show their love, and devotion They believed. This jolly old wise man gives gifts, he gives back and follows the example set by Christ. The man who is so selfless, he knew the plan, and gave his life so we can receive blessings when we obey. This year.. I do believe in Santa. I BELIEVE IN SANTA, he is the spirit of giving and we should indeed follow his great example!
