we were visiting with Frosty at the holiday lights
and
writing letters to Santa.....
and
sledding on the Herriman hills....
and
hoping that Santa's look a like helpers took our letters to the nice elves in the North Pole and not the angry elves in the South Pole (Cayleb was particularly worried about this)
and
and
learning a bit of life's lessons about choices and consequences and being thankful for beds and blankets
and
the kids following family tradition and lining up in order of age (a tradition that goes back to when Randy's dad was little - there is even a write up about it in the Deseret News) to go in an open up presents only after they had to sleep in, eat Dad's special Christmas breakfast, clean up, and read Luke 2
and
thinking how soon the lights would come down even the absolutely gorgeous light "garden of lights" we saw at the Botanical Garden
and
all the other "ands" that happened in between now and then.
Can it really have only been about 6 weeks! If time doesn't fly then it surely disappears like gum out of Randy's glove box!
