Sunbeam Class

Vickie and I taught the sunbeam class at church on Sunday. I had CS and Cb at church with me and CS is 3 so I went in to help Vickie. It was fun and they are so funny and cute. Vickie and I spent the two hours just cracked up and touched by the sweetness and funny things they would say. First thing was in opening exercise. DB asked if any of the kids had a hard time holding still and thinking about Jesus in Sacrament meeting. The three year old classes hands immediately went up. They were all yelling me me me. I do I do. I was trying to not laugh, but it was funny. Then we went into class. We were doing the nativity and Vickie asked the kids what the babies name was. One of the kids yelled out Goo. Then she asked who's birthday we were celebrating. All the kids yelled Ginger (Ginger was a little girl in our ward that had her birthday this week.) It just went on and on. I was trying hard not to crack up the whole day. Vickie told Chandler that she loved her dress and asked her where she got it. She told her from a truck. JS had ordered on line and it had been delivered by a truck. Sometimes you forget how delightful three year olds are!

I love this time of year.

I love this time of year. Last night we went to the conference center for the LDS church's annual Christmas program. It was so wonderful. I couldn't believe an hour and half had passed, the program was amazing and I enjoyed it so much. I believe that the reason we love this time of years so much is because the focus is on Christ. It is on Christ in the music we hear, in our thoughts, in our actions, in the symbols of Christmas, in our family activities, and gifts we give. Remembering that the gifts of time and from the heart are the best gifts we can give.
