47 Days to GO!!!


HOLY COW, It is 47 Days till Christmas!!!!! But who is counting! I'll tell you one thing, the Christmas music has already made its way into our car- thanks to Ali. She loves it. Yesterday as we were driving to fros work we were listening to Last Christmas by Ashley Tisdale and she was singing along, and stopped. She turned to Cam and said, "Cam this is Christmas music, isn't it fun." I told Ali that Cam hasn't ever heard Christmas music because this is his first christmas.
She got all fired up and said," Oh Cam you are going to love Christmas. There is Christmas music , Christmas Presents that you get to buy, and wrap and unwrap, and there are TONS of presents. There is our Christmas tree that we put "Things" on and make it so pretty. And our lights, and the star." She stopped and thought for a second and said, "The star is so important because it means................. What does the star mean mom?" So I explained that the star represents when Jesus was born. She said, "Oh yeah that is why we celebrate Christmas Cam, because it is Jesus, or was it Heavenly Fathers birthday, they look the same?" I said, "JESUS". She said, " yeah Jesus, He died so we could do something. Oh yeah it was so we could die and then come back. Wasn't that so nice of him!"
I was trying so hard not to laugh as this conversation went on and on and on and on. Then she hit Thanksgiving, and said," Oh Cam you will love thanksgiving, we eat and take naps, and play games and take more naps." Obviously it left a great impression that we eat and SLEEP! It was such a cute conversation.
The official count down to Christmas has begun!!

Ali is so cute! I love that she wants to say all these cute prayers and already has the faith and will probably always remember these experiences. It probably makes you feel good to know that you must be doing something right!

Jesus and Heavenly Father do look the same. She is very observant. I loved the whole conversation, I just can't, well actually I can, believe that you have Christmas whoha going on. So is Ali going to have any presents this year? or is she getting them all early? ha ha ha-She is such a good girl and a good big sister. Enjoy the eating and napping and napping again!
