This past weekend was pretty busy. The kids got to sit on Santa's lap. Raice asked for a sling shot, Cierra was along for whatever, and Autumn only wanted to pull his beard (after all, through a baby's eyes, what else would beards be for). After Santa we ate a "free" hot breakfast, for a non-perishable food donation. So far so good -everyone was happy.
Next, we went to our wards annual Creche show. The Creche show has become a community event, where Nativities from all over the world are put on display. This last year there were over 600 people who attended. After seeing Santa, we asked Raice why he thought we celebrated Christmas he responded by saying, "to get presents." So we headed over to show our kids the "true" meaning of Christmas.

Then just as Tyler and I were about to sit down and enjoy some yummy treats, Cierra began throwing a huge fit over the fact that she no longer had her binkie, and almost simultaneously a mother told me that Raice had pushed down her daughter. After making Raice apologize, we joined Tyler and Cierra in the truck. I think the only person not yelling was Autumn (surprisingly). So much for teaching the true meaning at least its only the 4th.
