Excited Boys

 Christmas morning was really exciting for the boys.  Everything that someone opened was awesome to Dallin.  He kept the rotation of opening gifts going pretty fast, but he was also great about waiting his turn.  Gavin didn't care about opening presents or even playing with the paper.  He would focus on one toy for a couple of minutes then look at something else.  He didn't care about unwrapping more toys, as the ones already unwrapped were too distracting! (I didn't get any pictures because we video recorded opening presents and then later, I had to recharge the battery in my camera.)  We had a late church so we had time to open presents, put things together (Zane and Dallin are putting together his wall track that is under his loft bed), play with toys, and have a Christmas breakfast.

I am in charge of the music at church, so this last month has been busy with rehearsals getting ready for the Sacrament meeting program.  I started writing and organizing the program back in October, so I was thrilled that everything turned out well.  The program was a mixture of narration from Luke 2, choir numbers with instrumental parts, musical numbers, and congregational singing with organ/piano duets.  I really enjoyed having Christmas on Sunday because it was nice to do the present thing and then have a nice spiritual service afterwards.

We are all a little sad that the Christmas break is ending.  It has been a great year!
