Will Showed His Love For Christ on Christmas

Sitting at nice restaurants while adults talk and talk for seven days in a row can be a challenge for a four-year old little boy Will. Brooke enjoys sitting with her older cousins and listening in on teenage talk, so mostly at our nightly dinners in Mexico, Brooke sat with Alaina, Lydia, Lexi, Dominic and Sophi.


On Christmas night we ate at the Asiana and Will was especially behaved and sweet that night at the restaurant. I saved the paper that him and I worked on while on the trip because I wanted to take a picture of it, but some where among the travel it got lost.

On Christmas day Will carried around a pass-a-long card with Jesus on it with him for about three hours that afternoon and extending until Christmas night. It was really sweet that he was thinking of the Savior on Christmas as he just happened to find the card while  pretending to read scriptures earlier that day. Will happily showed all of his family members his card of Jesus proudly that day.

When we got to the restaurant Will bent the picture of Jesus at the bottom all on his own so that it could be propped up in front of him while he ate. When coloring with crayons Will asked me; " Can you help me write a letter to everyone? " I said, " Okay, what do you want it to say? " He started to dictate the sweetest letter to me as I wrote for him.

Will said, " Merry Christmas, everything is going to be fine. We are going to have lots of fun playing at the beach. Listen to the golden plates everyday. Don't worry there is going to be enough playing and playing stuff and playgrounds for everyone.  Merry Christmas."

This is exactly what Will said himself. It was so cute. He then proceeded to take this paper around the table with him and show it to every family member at the table. After he let everyone read it he sat down and began to play nicely again with his chopsticks.

Below is a collaboration of pictures from some of our nightly meals at different restaurants.
