The Wilks Life: It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I love Christmas. No really, I LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEE Christmas! Everything about it brings happiness to my heart. What could be better than taking some time away from the hustle and bustle of life to celebrate the birth of Christ with family and friends? I love the food. I love the quality time. I love giving gifts. I love Santa. All of that is so much fun! But, the part of Christmas that brings the most joy is knowing that God gave us the most amazing gift by allowing His son to be born on this Earth in a manger, and because of that gift we get to celebrate every year and think about all the blessings that gift has brought us over the year. The Christmas story brings goosebumps every time I hear it. It is the most wonderful story ever told!

It has been so fun watching Sawyer get excited for Christmas this year. He likes to talk about baby Jesus and might understand a tad bit that He is the reason for the season, but at his age it is hard to grasp the whole story. However, there is one thing he has a full grasp on...SANTA! He definitely understands who the jolly guy is in the red suit. He also understands that the jolly guy is the one that is hopefully going to bring him the things he wrote on his wish list. What did he ask Santa for? Well, let me show you...

Yes, this is the official wish list that Sawyer gave Santa when he sat on his lap, and yes, he did tell me everything to put on the list. I must clarify though, there is only one thing on this list that he talks about DAILY, and that is Buzz Lightyear. If Santa doesn't bring that gift we might have a sad little boy on our hands. I sure do hope Santa comes through for us! :) We were so proud of Sawyer when he went to see Santa this year. There were no tears!! In fact, now that he has sat on his lap successfully, I think he would do it again and again. He hasn't stopped talking about Santa and his reindeer since that night!
