Party!

The other day Lincoln and Bridger came to me and said they wanted to have a Valentines Day party. I told them that Valentines day is in over a month. They said "okay" and walked away. A few minutes later they came and said that they want a Lego party because you can use Legos every day. I decide to go with it. They asked me to make invitations on the computer. They told me the day and time that they wanted the party. They also told me what they wanted to do at the party. Lincoln made a list if those he wanted to invite. The list included about 6 friends and the Primary President. :) I asked Lincoln if he meant to invite the presidents 3 year old son, he said, "she can brig him if she wants." I thought that was really funny.
Lincoln was really excited to deliver the invitations. We let him go to the doors all by himself. When he went to the primary presidents house he told her that she would either have to leave her cat at home or take it to a cat hotel during the party.
Lincoln and Bridger made all if the decorations for the party. They drew pictures on papers and taped them on the walls all over the house. I also gave them some streamers to hang. They loved that. When Bridger came over he brought some balloons to help with the decorations. We went and picked up pizza and breadsticks and came home to wait for the friends. Soon everyone came. We played games and watched a movie. We had a great time. Lincoln is a good party planner!

We had a wonderful Christmas. All day Lincoln kept saying "Merry Christmas for one and all!"
More to come.

Christmas Singing

Lincoln has really gotten into singing Christmas songs this year. His favorite is Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Today at church we sang it as part of sacrament meeting. When it came to the part that says "peace on earth and mercy mild," Lincoln sang "God and sinners gangnam style."
Gangnam style is a silly popular song on the radio that is accompanied by an even sillier dance move. I laughed so hard I would barely finish singing the song. What a kid!

Out of the Mouth of Babes

Tonight after reading scriptures Lincoln began talking about the crucifixion of Jesus. Lincoln asked some questions about the crucifixion that David and I did our best to answer. After the questions Lincoln proceeded to tell us that when he was in heaven and Jesus was crucified he felt sad and he cried in heaven. He said that was "not his favorite part."
I love those sweet moments when Lincoln speaks with a pure heart about what is on his mind an how he feels about things. I also feel privileged to get occasional glimpses into the pure understanding of eternal things through the thoughts of my sweet boy. I am so blessed!
