Bed Baseball and Santa

Bed Baseball
No it is not dirty, it is a game Taj invented. Taj is obsessed with Sandlot the movie. No it is not the best movie for kids, it swears some, but he loves it. I know I'm justifying. Here is how Bed Baseball goes.

First Taj makes us put in the movie Sandlot. Then he gets his bat and ball. Next he puts on his helmet and yes, gloves.

His new thing the last couple of days is his Spiderman snow boots. Then he climbs on the bed. It starts usually with you pitching the ball to him.

Then it is your time to get the ball thrown at you. It is a little scary, it depends on what ball he grabs. He likes to pitch with his left hand, which Lance loves, but he is VERY right handed.

After a hard game this is usually what happens. Bed Baseball can be tiring.
I love Taj!!! He makes me laugh so much, he is a little character. I can't believe how big he is getting.

Santa
Elli has been very worried about not seeing Santa yet. We missed our ward party because of Co-ed volleyball so it was good that Grandma Janice is friends and works with a guy who knows Santa Clause. Santa also made a surprise appearance at Elli's preschool program, so we got to see Santa twice in one day.

When Santa walked into the gym during Elli's program her face lit up. While most of the kids were trying to figure out what was going on, she went and got in line. Elli's best cousin Hallie was in the program with her. They were so excited, they sat on Santa's lap together on their own.



I'm glad Santa came to my mom's house because Taj didn't dare talk to him at the school. He did sit on his lap for a second and tell him he wanted baseball stuff, he didn't stay there long though. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Our Tree is HUGE!!!

Our Christmas tree is HUGE!!! We went Christmas tree hunting with my family. We went to a new place and there were so many good trees. Our tree looked a lot smaller out there in the woods. It is the smallest one that we cut down, so if you think our tree is big you should see my parents and brothers.

We are so excited for Christmas. I can't believe we are less then two weeks away. I have a lot to do. Taj uses the ornaments on the tree as baseballs and Elli puts them back up. Elli loves decorating the tree so I guess it works.
