Dear Santa...

Yesterday the kids took the note out of the Advent Calendar and it read "Write letters to Santa".  So, after I picked up Allison from school and Ella was down for her nap, we wrote our letters to Santa.

Allison's letter to Santa:

I want to tell you what I want for Christmas.  I want a Barbie and anything American Girl.  Love, Allison

Connor and Ella told me what to write for Ella

Allison made a present for Santa, which Clyde took to him last night

Fun Stockings that the kids made with Foam stickers

Last year Ella lost her beloved pink swanky blanky.  I replaced it with a smaller version b/c she loved it so much.  Today a package arrived in the mail for Ella. A new blanket!!!!  She was so excited to have her blanket.  She carried it around all day and is thrilled.  What a fun surprise.
