Smarty Pants!

On Christmas Eve, we went to my Uncle Dee's home. After dinner, he dressed up as Santa. He asked the kids what they would like for Christmas, gave them a candy cane, and was gone. Later when Uncle Dee came back as himself, Jorgen and Haylee proceeded to explain that he had missed Santa. But Ahlianna was not fooled. While Haylee and Jorgen were bursting with excitment, Ahlianna mumbles, "That wasn't the real santa. That was him." I'm afraid she will be the one to break "the news" to the older kids one of these days.

What can I say?!

The other night Jorgen did not want to go to bed. He said that if he went to sleep he would have bad dreams. Knowing how much he really needed sleep, I told him to think happy thoughts and he would be fine. Of course, this didn't work. So, Wayne being an amazing husband and father said, "Jorgen, let's have a prayer." They went into Jorgen's room and Jorgen offered the prayer. Immediately after the prayer Jorgen started crying. He said, "Everything is going to be okay dad. Heavenly Father touched my heart, and He's not going to let me have bad dreams tonight." Wow! The faith of little children! BTW- He slept all night long and woke up refreshed and in a great mood!
