The Knights: Christmas

Logan has been getting scared at night because his fan will blow things in his room. So we have been teaching him that he can say a prayer and HF will make him feel better and help him to sleep. One morning he told me he had been scared and that he prayed and that HF really made him feel better. The cutest part is, he got out of bed and knelt in the middle of his floor to say the prayer. Then crawled back in bed and fell asleep. I told him he didn't have to get out of bed if he was scared and he said, "yes I do, I have to show HF respect." 05-'10
We were at a park that had the telephone toys. One pipe on one end, and Logan was near the other end. Mikah yelled in the pipe "I love you Logan" he looked around confused because he was all alone and said, "I love you too Heavenly Father, I know that you are true!" then went on playing as if this was a regular occurance. 04-'10
When you lay a blanket on the ground and sit on it he thinks it is called a party. He will always ask me to make a party for him. 09-'10
While talking a mile a minute he stopped and said, "the batteries in my mouth are broken." 3-'10
He told me to take a cat nap, and he would take a dog nap. 3-'10
He calls Mozzarella cheese, Cinderella cheese. 3-'10

While playing kitchen with Daddy he told her to put something in the microwave for 2 minutes, she ran to the couch and buried her face in her hands and began to cry. When he asked her what was wrong she said "time out." (When she is in trouble she has to sit on the stairs for 2 min.) 2-'10
When she wants to be held she will stand at your feet and say "Can I hold you?" 1-'10
If she is mad at you she will flip your lip. 1-'10
When she wants your attention she will yell "Mamma Keith Knight, or Daddy Keith Knight" we all get Logan's full name. 1-'10

I love Christmas! I didn't think anything could be better than the feeling of excitement I always had growing up. Getting new pj's on Christmas eve, then not being able to sleep because I was so excited for Santa to come. Opening all of my surprises to the light of the Christmas tree, and eating my very own box of cold cereal for breakfast. But, I found something better. Being Santa. Not the buying or wrapping part, but feeling more excited about watching others receive than actually receiving myself. The anticipation of seeing Logan's reaction, and hearing him say "thank you Santa!" was better than any feelings I got when I was young. Maybe I should rephrase that, because I loved it just as much then as I do now. It is an awesome feeling to see your kids happy and excited about something. I want to create for Logan and Dylan those same feelings I had as a kid. Although he was a little overwhelmed when he saw all the presents under the tree and realized that Santa really did come, he warmed up to the idea and loved all the presents. We didn't get any very good photos because every time he opened something new he had to show Grandpa Hoggan first. He piled all his presents at Grandpa's feet and gave all his Christmas ooh's and ahh's to Grandpa. But it was fun to see him excited and process it all. I look forward to more Christmas's with my little family. We tried really hard to let Logan know that we celebrate Christmas because the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. His relation to the whole thing is that Jesus loves Santa, and Santa loves Jesus. I guess it is a start. When we got home from Delta I put all of Logan's new cars and trucks on his new car rug and rolled it up to take them down stairs. It was heaping and Logan said, "mom, I am so lucky, look at all my stuff." "You are so lucky," I said, "actually you are so blessed." "Your right mom, I am so blessed."
