Santa

I hate to admit it but I am seriously slacking when it comes to taking pictures. We have been planning on getting professional pictures done but still have not found the time, maybe after Christmas. Here are a few pictures from when we went to see Santa.
Santa was wonderful! He ask Grantham what he wanted to which Grantham replied Swords. They talked a little bit about Christmas magic and a book Grantham has about Santa. Then before we left Santa reminded Grantham to obey his mom and dad the first time. What a great reminder for a little boy who is easily distracted by all the "gimmes" that this time of year encourages! I also realized how little we have talked about Santa until this year. Grantham was kind of in the dark. It has been fun for him to discover a few facts about Santa and the naughty and nice list! While all these new discoveries have been fun, I hope we still continue to emphasize the importance of Jesus' birth over the holiday that has been taken over with by Santa. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate this wonderful time of year with family and friends!
