Christmas 2008

The theme for Dallin's Christmas this year was Star Wars! He got a Clone Trooper mask, Star Wars puzzle, a couple of Lego's Star Wars ships, and of course the Wii Clone Trooper video game. Besides all the Star Wars stuff he also got a surf outfit (to combat board rash), checkers (his new favorite game), an Indiana Jones DS game, and some gift cards and money. By far his favorite gift is the one that Santa brought; the Wii and the games that go along with it. He has had to try to pry the controller's out of Dad's hands to get a turn. He has proven to be a great tennis player, and loves Kung Fu Panda, and Mario Cart.

Last Christmas when Dallin found out about Santa he told me, "But, I can still believe in him if I want to." This year he told me he was a little sad that Santa wasn't real. I told him that the spirit of Santa is real, and that he represents the spirit of giving. I hope Dallin can always keep the spirit of Christmas alive.
