2014-Santa_Letters

Every year our school has the kids write letters to Santa. I still don’t understand why the school makes Santa such a priority but here we are.

I do enjoy reading what my babies write. It gives me and Phil and good laugh. Lily so practical, Gerhardt all boy (who doesn’t have even one motorcycle btw) and then Clara, overflowing, on and on, thoughtful and taking advantage of the opportunity to ask for everything her heart desires. I can’t wait for my glass turkey. (Hers was the longest in the entire school I’ll add.)

I cranked up the Christmas tunes on the radio and we Ooo’d and Aww’d.

I’m sure they’re gonna LOVE this in about 10 more years!!

I was just so happy they were playing well together. That didn’t always happen, still doesn’t, oil and water these babies, much like Esther and Ephraim are now. But then these moments come and Mama smiles.

We be big fans of the 1960s/1980s Spiderman cartoons so a Spiderman party was an easy choice.
