This was the first year we wrote letters to Santa. Well, I did the writing, they did the dictating! I wanted them to write their letter and take it when we went to visit Santa, but since we had to change our Santa visit to a spur of the moment one, our letters came AFTER we saw him! But I told the boys we'd mail it anyway!
As Grant was dictating his letter, I was worried I was going to need an extra sheet of paper! But I managed to "condense" a few of his thoughts, with his liking of course! I just love his attitude this Christmas. He has seen things at stores that he likes and makes it a point to see he really likes that, but he hasn't actually asked for specific things for Christmas. Even while seeing Santa, he asked for a "remote control airplane that's blue" but he told me after that, that he doesn't really care what Santa brings him. So here are Grant's thoughts for Santa:
Gotta love the Amen! part! And the three humps in his N. Oh dear!
Wyatt has been such a joy this Christmas season. He truly understands that magic that the season brings and he is all about all things Christmas! He loves to recite the verse, "It's better to give than to receive!" He has been pretty consistent with his wish from Santa. Although the entire month of November, he'd been asking for a "toy guitar with real strings" and then the day we went to see Santa, he asked for a "remote control train that doesn't go on tracks" and he is dead set on that. I told him Santa might have a hard time finding that, and he said, "Well he can just make it in his workshop!" Can't argue with that! So here is Wyatt's letter:
Again, love the Amen! and the "blustery snow." Seriously, this kid is a crack up!
I'm curious to see how they feel when they see what Santa decides to buy them! As well as their response to their other gifts. Last year, after they saw their Santa presents and I said it was time to open the rest of the gifts, they said, "You mean we get more presents?" I hope I can keep that spirit alive and they truly understand that Christmas isn't about presents! But more about the love we share when we give!
