Tonight as I was putting the girls to bed I decided that I would try to impart a little bit of Christmas wisdom. I asked Lindy why we give gifts for Christmas. She told me that "giving is more funner than getting". I was fairly impressed with her answer and decided to add my two cents to the matter. I told the girls that even though getting presents is a lot of fun it isn't the reason we celebrate Christmas. I continued by telling them that the birth of the baby Jesus was the best gift we could ever receive and shows us that our Heavenly Father loves us. I then pointed out that we give presents at Christmas time because we want to show the people we love just how much we care about them.
Lindy promptly looked up at me and said, "Mom, you're kinda blabbering."
Sometimes when people talk about the innocence of children I just have to shake my head and wonder.

Oh my....just wait until she is 13, you are going to DIE!
Oh my word. That is so dang funny! What did you say to that?
Reminds me of our numerous crazy FHE's when we wonder just how much good is possibly accomplished by our efforts.
I love that girl! That is so funny! I just caught up on your blog. LOVED the ward video! Thanks for posting it! Easton was dying of embarrassment when I showed him...silly kid! Hope you had a great christmas! xoxo
I love that Lindy!
Lindy says the best things. I love that you write them down. I always forget the min after I'm laughing at mine. I also just caught up. I hear ya with leaving the pantry door open. Things are strewn across the kitchen floor everyday. I'm trying to keep the door closed, but it's hard. The ward video was so cute, you guys do such a great job with that. Needless to say we made sure to watch the Christmas story after that... Australia? sheesh.
Oh man that is so funny! I love reading your blog, it calls for out loud laughs and odd stares from my husband!
