The Hinton Family: Christmas Devotional

Christmas Devotional

Last night we had the wonderful opportunity to watch the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional. It was a beautiful reminder of what Christmas is all about. I enjoyed the stories that President Utchdorf shared about the Christmases of his childhood. I loved the songs that were sung by the Tabernacle Choir. I felt the Christmas spirt.

If you don't know every December the First Presidency (of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) does a 1 hour program with music and talks about Christmas. I always love listening to it. I feel the Spirit and I remember what Christmas is all about and I get more in the spirit of the holiday. If you missed the program or would like to experience it yourself just click HERE.

You will get into the Christmas spirit and you will enjoy the lovely music. Merry Christmas!

After getting in trouble and counting out the tickets he had to return to me for name calling and disobeying...

"Here mom, tickets for making me dinner"

I had to correct him that I don't earn tickets these were tickets he had lost. Still pretty funny though - I had a hard time keeping a straight face.

While saying family prayer this is what David said:

"Thankee for the new home we picked out - on the computer"

Too funny, since we just told him today that we would be moving again and he wasn't happy about it but when we showed him pictures of possible places for us to live he got excited.

"Cheeky Chuckle", "Tater Tots", Fussy Funnel", are just a few phrases that David says in frustration, silliness or as an expression of emotion.

Wanting to share my smoothie with me and being told he had to finish his milk, David caught me sipping my smoothie and said, "Don't start drinking mommy!"

After looking at the drawing of David and me David commented that he wanted a baby. I asked him what kind of baby he wanted a brother or a sister. He responded with brother, sister, brother. Finally this is what I got from him, "I want a baby sister then a baby brother."

(This was also repeated to Dustin while he caught up on LOST tonight)

On Saturday we told David that we were going to buy kids vitamins to help him get big and strong. Today when I tried to give a vitamin to him he said "I don't want to be big, I want to stay little".
