Near the first of December our
ward put on a Christmas dinner. At the dinner there was a ton of amazing food:
two or three different kinds of everything, some great entertainment from each
of the quorums and auxiliaries, and also… pictures with Santa provided.
Throughout the morning we had
been preparing Jared for this opportunity to meet Santa in person and sit on
his lap. We talked to him about what kind of gifts he’d want and so on. By the
time we got to the church we thought he was ready and excited. Well, all our
preparation didn’t really translate when it was time for him to go sit on Santa’s
knee. He pouted the whole time; and Karl wanted off before he even got on. It
was so funny and sad all at once.
We did get Jared to whisper to
Santa what he wanted, “Iron Man toys,” before he got down. He did talk about
the experience afterwards like it was a good one, so I think he’s glad he got
to sit with Santa. But, after a week or two when the picture results were sent
out, they were pretty hilarious to see. The photographer took nine tries, we
saved them all, but here’re just a few.
For the Christmas party, I made
an Apple-Cranberry Pie and a Banana Cream Pie. They were the only pies so they
were both gone before I got to the dessert room. Ryan was disappointed about not
getting any of the banana pie, one of his favorites. So I fixed both our pie
needs by making our family our own banana cream pie the next week. J
