Santa's Letters Came Today!

Sitting on Santa's lap was only fun for Laura (who recited her ENTIRE list to him)

I know Luke's expression does not show his excitement, but it was there before I turned on the camera. The kids wrote letters to Santa for the first time this year, and we have been checking the mail everyday waiting on his response. Well, today was the day! The kids grabbed their letters and ran back into the house. Then we opened our letters to find that both kiddos made the good list (they got a sticker saying they made it). They also recieved a Santa dollar (which made Luke's day). Then we read their letters while looking at their autographed picture of old Santa himself. They couldn't believe how much Santa knew about them. Luke wanted to know how he knew about Otis. I had to sit and laugh at their curiosity. We even looked at the envelope it came in which was postmarked from the North Pole.

These days don't feel like the normal December days. The kids are spending a little bit of time outside each day, and ALOT of play time inside.
