Dinosaurs still seek Him



At our house, it is only normal that the Dinosaur is also making it's way to see the babe in the manger.

I do have to give Mc some major credit this year. The Christmas tree has remained unscathed (unlike last year where most of the ornaments made it to the top 4 inches of the tree). She even has a little tree in her room that she has not touched once. She discovered the joy of the advent calendar this year and has shared her desire for a "dragon" with Santa.

December in Utah has been bitter cold but the prospect of not having to fight the airports this year or take a week vacation to spend Christmas with family, is quite enticing. For a little family outing on Saturday, we hit the Winder Dairy. It was nothing like the grandeur I remembered back in the day- their little street had THE best Christmas lights. I assume most of them have died (since they were ancient when I lived there) so only a few houses held strong. The Dairy was like I remembered it...minus the scones. THEY RAN OUT! We patiently waited for our fresh scones dripping with honey butter but alas, have to return with our "free scones" voucher. I did run into an old friend, Cami Thomas and we were able to chat- She hasn't changed a bit but let's remember the previous post (6th grade) and hope I have.

I love that dairy! It makes me hungry to think of it. It's been in the mid 70's all week and will be for awhile. Preston and I go to the park every week day. We pay for it in the summer as you well know!

And why shouldn't the dinosaur play a part in the nativity? I always thought dinosaurs to be a much more substantial creature than maybe a cow... Not being sacrelig here, just sayin.

Glad to see the manger is getting use. We should be accepting and kind to all dinosaurs and the rest of Heavenly Father's "creatures" especially at Christmas time. There is room in the Christmas story for them all.
