Dear Santa

Tonight I decided to help the kids write their letters to the one, the awesome and magical...Santa Claus! For my older girls this was the final draft to the other 20 letters they have been writing since Halloween! LOL :) (On a side note we will not be driving to the Circle this year to drop our letters off, we decided to take them Macy's because they are donating proceeds for every letter they recieve to Make a Wish Foundation! I am happy to hear their letters will be used for a good purpose this year!)

I usually say number your paper to 15 and usually they don't say a word, but this year my Angel and Spitfire were not happy about the limit. So I told them okay number it to whatever you want, but remember you will NOT get everything on your list. My Spitfire had a little bit of a rough time trying to come up with 19 items she came up with. Some of it is really goofy things just to fill in all of her numbers. My Angel on the other hand had 30, yes I just said ( well typed) 30 items. She did her 30 in the amount of time it took me to write out the little ones letters... 5 minutes!!!. She however had nothing goofy just to fill up space!! She is asking for things a teenage boy or girl would ask for... iPod, mini laptop, DSi, Wii games ( which is ok b/c we have one of the those), an add on to our house for her to have a pretend classroom filled with furniture that would be in a school. Really?!?!? Who thinks of this stuff at the ripe old age of 8, lol! Well needless to say I think Santa is going to bring her things a real 8 year old would want and need! LOL :)

Wild Man had a fun time telling me everything he wanted Santa to bring him. He listed everything he has been talking about for a month now! He really understands the story and magic behind Santa and I am thrilled! My in laws have a blow up Santa in their front yard and last night Wild Man walked out to see him when we left. He stood right in front of him and made sure no one was watching ( but of course I was), he looked up and in a whisper voice said, " Santa bring me toys please"! Awww it was so stinking cute! He loves every fake, blown up, toy and suited up Santa he sees! This year will be a fun, but maybe chaotic Christmas morning! J and I can't wait to see and share their joy!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
