Dear Santa.....

Sunday we finally wrote our letters to Santa. We were able to do this at Grandma and Grandpa Allen's house. I don't know about the rest of you but when I was a kid I always had a million things I wanted to put on my list. It was like pulling teeth getting our kids to come up with things to ask for. So crazy to me! Once Raul kind of got going he did come up with several things. Jackie couldn't think of much at all; I had to help her. Brett helped Ellie because she was getting frusterated. She can be a perfectionist and sometimes needs someone to help calm her down. Still in the end they were happy with their letters. Now they are off to Santa!

Here is RoRo with his letter. He asked for several things. One being a basketball hoop so he can play with his Dad. He asked for a battery for his watch (I guess he is loosing faith that his Mom and Dad will get it done for him like we said we would forever ago). He also asked for a guitar too; Grandpa Dalley would be so proud!

Here is Ellie with her letter. She was very sweet and asked Santa how he and Mrs. Claus were doing and thanked him for her toys she got last year. She asked for a bike without training wheels and a snow globe and a few other things. She ended her letter "Please have a safe flight". She is such a sweety!

Here is Jackies letter. In all honesty I came up with most of it for her. She just wasn't sure. She did want me to make sure to say thank you Santa and I love you Santa. The two things she wants is a tiger stuffed animal and a mirror. She is asking for a mirror because Brett and I were teasing her one day. She loves to stand in front of the mirror and talk to herself. We told her that maybe we would get her a mirror for Christmas. I guess she really wants one! Too funny!

Here's to hoping we all get what is on our list this year!

Jackson wants a guitar too! He is going to be in a band when he gets older, so he has to start collecting the instruments. Maybe he and Raul will form one together! Ellie's letter reminds me of Brianna's last year. This year however, she got down to business. And just like Jackie, Ashlyn had a hard time coming up with anything. (One of her wishes is long hair. How much longer does she want it?) When we took her shopping to help make her list we were suggesting all kinds of stuff, but she wasn't interested. The other 2 had no problem coming up with several items. These letters are always keepers.

Sorry for the essay. Maybe these comments should have a limit on characters allowed then I would only include the essential info!

No! No limits! I love all comments any length! Raul told me he wants to be in a band too; but he wants to be the only member! He is already a diva! (is there a diva word for boys??)

Sitting with the kid's and having them write to Santa is so fun. They think of thing's all year long, but when it comes time to ask Santa what they want, they don't put too much. How cute are your kid's Angie. You and Brett have been very blessed.

What cute letters. Man we could all take a lesson from them - not knowing what to ask for!I'm sure they will catch on soon enough! Love ya Naunie & grandpa
