Hey Santa, over here!

Just in case you were wondering what the kids wanted from Santa, we did letters the other night. Not surprising Katie asked for the pink heels for her bear again! And yes, my little four year old can write her name all by herself-we don't even need to tell her the letters. So smart.

Paige went back to her letter about 4 times to add stuff. I think the top of her list is really the Nintendo DS. Probably not happening.

So that leads me to this thought. If you have finished shopping, DO NOT then ask your kids to write letters to Santa. How did I not know this was going to happen. Not one thing I bought was on their lists. Really. Now what do we do? Buy more? Ugh. Mark doesn't think they'll notice. Paige wrote that whole letter by herself with no help. She's going to notice.

Mark at least got his wish. Yes, we are the proud new owners of a 46" flat screen TV complete with surround sound entertainment system and blu-ray player. And free installation. And no interest for 3 years. I am excited but we watch so little TV I think it's a bit of a splurge. It makes him happy though-boys and their big high tech toys. Hannah Montana is going to look great on that set! Football should be pretty cool too.

Maybe I'll get my D300 next year.

And no, we can not watch TV during Christmas, just in case you were wondering. We can use the sound system to belt out some Holly Jolly Christmas, but that's it!

15 days and counting......
