Christmas was very fun this year partly because Hunter was so into it. He even asked us on Christmas eve if he could sleep on the couch to see Santa and how Santa would not get burned coming down the chimney into the stove. This kid is too smart. I don't know if Santa will last too many years with his thinking. His enthusiasm was contagious. He had trouble falling asleep on Christmas eve and was standing by my bed at 5:00am saying, "Mommy my stocking is full of presents." I replied,"What does that mean?" He excitedly whispered, "Santa came!" I pulled him into our bed hoping he would go back to sleep. I know all you experienced parents are laughing at that, and of course, it did not happen. So we were up opening presents at 5:30 in the morning. At least I didn't feel rushed to get up to Scott's parents house by 10:00 (ha,ha).
Anyone that asked Hunter what he wanted Santa to bring him for Christmas usually heard the words "A big articulator" said with much enthusiasm. Luckily, "Santa" found a big John Deere articulating tractor on the internet(ebay is sometimes so wonderful and money-saving) and was able to get it in time for Christmas. It is all metal and quite heavy, hopefully heavy duty enough to stand up to all the farming that will happen in the dirt around our house for a number of years to come. Mom and Dad also got some nice things too. There is just so much joy in giving to your children and reveling in their excitement. It gives me a little glimpse of how much our heavenly Father must love to bestow blessings and gifts on us, His children.
