Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas at home this year. Clayton and I baked cookies for Santa. Cyle and Clayton put out reindeer food. It snowed. It was just like the songs we sing! Two days before Christmas I was going to take Clayton to a tree farm to see reindeer. He was uncooperative, so we didn't go. Later that evening Clayton said to me, "It's okay I didn't see a reindeer. I'll just see them when Santa comes to my house." "Um," I stuttered, "Santa only comes if you're sound asleep." Without missing a beat, Clayton replied, "That's okay. Santa will wake me up." Santa didn't wake him up, but we did follow him on NORAD's site and that seemed to be enough. Thank goodness!

Both boys we're so excited for Santa to come. Clayton couldn't wait to play with his new excavator in a big box of corn. Levi was content to just sit back and watch the action. He did really like the present from Clayton - a top.

Clayton got what he wanted most from Santa: a guitar. Little did Santa know how much it would get played. Not only does Clayton sing songs we all know (ABCs, Wonder Pets Theme, 3 Blind Mice), but he also writes his own songs (Working on a Deer on a Saturday Night and Halloween Party). He even gets on our coffee table stage to perform. It's too funny.

Future FBI Agent...

Happy New Year!
