'Tis The SEASON!!

(This is the look Corbett insists on giving when I pull out the camera lately!)

I love Christmas time! I never knew how much fun it could be though. This year Corbett is SO excited! I was sure we would have another year where he was happy he got presents but didn't know why or where they came from. If you don't know Cody is kind of a grinch when it comes to silly Christmas fun. He will do it if I force him and that's it! But Corbett is all about Christmas!! It was so much fun decorating the tree! First of all we picked out a REAL tree this year! It's our first one, until now we've always had a fake one. Corbett and I decorated it while Cody was at work. First Corbett said, "Mom, our tree looks nice!" Then when I asked him how the lights look he said, "Perfect!" He also took the Tigger ornament out of the box and said, "Mom, I'll put the Tigger ornament on the tree because he is wonderful!" Besides that at one point he put on a Santa hat and started singing Jingle Bells! What a fun kid! So that was our first Christmas activity. We made a chain so Corbett can see how long until Christmas (he asks constantly). We've also been to my Grandma Thorson's Christmas party and out to dinner with friends as a yearly tradition for Christmas, such a fun time! Corbett and I went to the ward party but Cody was out of town. I think we're about done shopping and READY for Christmas! This is MY year, it's been more fun than I ever imagined! Corbett loves the snow too! (Cody can't wait to get him to the ski hill!) We can't get him in the car without a fight because he's busy climbing up every snow hill he can find! We feel so blessed this year with our twins on the way and so many other blessings! We're thankful for the Savior at this time of year and for his life! We're trying to teach Corbett the meaning of Christmas but so far he's come to the conclusion that Jesus would like a daddy horse birthday and then he changed his mind and decided he'd prefer a superhero birthday instead! We're working on it! Merry Christmas!
Below: We Three Kings... (We were learning the letter K for preschool this week) Emery was asked to do a service this week in primary so he chose (or Camie chose for him) to shovel our driveway! Thanks Emery!Corbett loves to wear his ROCK ROCK ROCK shirt and pretend he's in a band. He thinks he's getting an instrument from Santa but Santa thinks the instruments in his price range are obnoxious!
