We went to our ward Christmas party earlier this month. There was a nice dinner and program and then a special visitor. Ben was pretty excited to see him come in, but when it came time to go and sit on his lap his attitude changed a bit. He pretty much completely ignored him - he didn't get excited about the candy cane. It was like he was just going through these crazy motions and just waiting until he could get away...he he he. He did enjoy eating his candy cane afterwards though.
Christmas was spent in Casa Grande with the Dick family. We went to church with them on Sunday. On Christmas Eve Grandpa prepared the family home evening lesson. He and Grandma both bore their testimonies about the Savior. It is such a blessing to have grandparents who know and teach their children and grandchildren about the gospel and the Redeemer. We had a tasty Christmas Eve dinner. We woke up Christmas morning to a room full of gifts and balloons. I loved to watch Ben's face as he entered the room - so magical and exciting. I think the balloons thrill him almost as much as the gifts. He got a little tool set, which he spent much of the rest of the day playing with. We spent the day playing with our new things and enjoying time together. We got together with Great Grandma Dick for Christmas dinner.
