I'm thankful for Santa Claus.

Last Sunday, Addie was assigned to say a scripture and the prayer for the Opening part of Primary (it's in front of a LOT of kids!) It went something like this: (Me whispering in her ear ): "Men are..." Addie: "Men are..." Me: "...that they might have joy." Addie: "...that they might have joy." Me: "...now say the prayer." Addie: "The Prayer." Me: "..no sweetie... say the prayer now." Addie: "Dear Heavenly Father... I'm thankful for Santa Claus. Please bless Erin. In the name.... Amen!" It was so cute I could have squeezed her to death right there. What a joy it is to teach my kids the Gospel!

That is so adorable!! Kids are great at praying sincerely! I bet all the other kids in primary were "AMEN-ing" her prayer for Santa.
