Getting in the Christmas Sprit

It's no big secret that Carter is full of spirit. Which spirit? Well, that depends on several factors, but spirit, nonetheless. Right now he's filled with the Christmas spirit.

Last week when Christian returned from working in Utah he brought the kids their own little Nativity set, courtesy of Grandma Vicki. We started putting up our decorations little by little while he was gone, so the kids were very excited to have their own Nativity. Cali set hers up right away on her desk, Carter on his bookshelf, and Caleb tried to eat baby Jesus...so we put his where he can't reach it.

Christian overheard a little fight between Cali and Carter because she didn't think it was fair that Carter got two lambs in his set, and she only got one. Christian told them that there was a Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, one lamb, and one cow. Cali argued and insisted that Carter got two lambs. Christian went into Carter's room to stop the arguing, and check on the lamb situation.

Sure enough, Carter's Nativity had two lambs...and no Baby Jesus. Christian offered to put the whole set back in the box and see if Grandma Vicki could get him a new one. To which Carter replied, "No, it's fine, Jesus is the Lamb of God, so I'll use this lamb for Baby Jesus."

There you have it. It's as simple as that!
