The Spirit of Christmas

"I give him a love."


Christmas time was an exciting time for all of us this year and it was extra special because Coleman really got into it. He loved all the preparations and was really quite excited about the real Christmas story. We read some books about it, watched a cartoon about it and talked about it many times. I got out a not-so-fragile nativity scene and he really enjoyed playing with it. He lined all the people up in different ways and talked to them. Baby Jesus was his favorite. In the picture he's giving him a hug and saying, "give Baby Jesus a love." I found the baby figurine in Cole's crib several times and when I asked him about it Cole always said he was "taking a rest in Cole's bed." The whole experience was sweet to me.

It's wonderful to have children and experience the wonderful things about life through their eyes. I'm so thankful for Cole and for his great example to me. I love that he's learning the gospel and the Spirit is testifying to him of it's truth already at his youg age. It makes every day feel like Christmas to me.

Mommy and Daddy love you, Coleman. We hope you always remember that and remember that your Heavenly Father and Savior love you too.
