Tonight the Jones family celebrated another milestone. It was our first Santa Letter Writing Night. Ellie really didn't do anything but scribble a little on a piece of paper and then try to color my teeth (don't ask because I don't know why). But our little artist, Lindy, was able to produce a fine letter. As you can see, she was quite specific about her Christmas wishes. She's been planning on asking for some rootbeer lipstick for about 11 months now. She kept asking me to buy her some and I kept putting her off by telling her that she'd have to ask Santa at Christmas time. She has a great memory. She also wants a FurReal baby pig. And last, but certainly not least, she asked for a wiggle car. Grandpa and grandma set those wheels in motion over Thanksgiving and now here we are. Luckily Santa has hired some great elves this year who, I'm sure, will help fulfill our 4-year old's wishes. She was beside herself with excitement as we helped her address the envelope, put a stamp on it, and stick it in the mailbox. Isn't childhood grand?

We've been writing and "losing" letters to the Jolly Old Elf for at least 2 months now. I guess I ought to let the girls compose a final draft and make all the requests official.
root beer lipstick just doesn't sound yummy. But hey, it is easy. Nathan keeps saying he wants silly putty, easy is nice.
That is so cute! When I first saw her picture I thought you were in big trouble cause you were going to have to purchase a baby pig!! LOL!
I love this stage in our lives when our children ask for things like root beer lip-gloss, and it means the world to them. If only all their wishes could stay as simple as they are when they are little! It would say us a lot of money and they would always be easy to please!
