Ella reading to Parker before bedtime.
We caught Santa after family home evening. Parker gave his best friend Henry some paints for Christmas. He had an extremely hard time giving them away because he really really wanted them for himself. Luckily we saw Santa that same day and he could ask for his very own paints. Phew!
Sunday was a big day for Parker. At the primary program a few months ago, Parker froze. He refused to go up front, he refused to sing a single word of any song. It was really sad because he knew his part and songs. But he got so scared. He was so upset, he refused to go to primary after!
This sunday, however, he went right up to the front with Ella to sing their Christmas songs. He sang every word and smiled the whole time. Then in primary he went up to give his scripture. Didnt fight or cry or whine. He was such a big boy!
Watching Ella and Parker up front singing made my heart swell. I love having 2 kids and seeing them both up there together I felt so blessed.
Mom would never pay 5 dollars for a 5minute ride on a slow tiger. But when grandma Alley is with us, the kids get anything they ask for.
We wrote letters to 2 special people. Brent lives in Cache Valley and as far back as I can even remember him riding his bike around waving and smiling at everyone. He is a special guy. And a girl names Safyre that lives in New York. She lost her family in a fire and was badly burned. I hope that these letters in the mail will make them smile.
