Getting ready

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is approaching and there is so much to do with Christmas creeping in. Is it just me or is there NEVER enough time in the day to get what I need to get done? I create a list and mysteriously, things just keep getting added to it. I blame El Nino. :)

So, they other day Jake and I had 2 WHOLE HOURS FREE while the babies napped. That has never happened to this day. I asked Jake if we should write a letter to Santa and tell him what he wants for Christmas. He couldn't stop jumping up and down with happiness - so away we wrote.
It was a short letter but decorated beautifully with Jake's great artwork. Crooked tree and all. Santa would be very pleased to hear from him and get his ideas. We looked up Santa's address on the internet for the North Pole and dropped it into a RED envelope. "Can't have anything else but red" Jake said. A couple of holiday stickers for a final touch and whallah! - the video will fill you in on the rest of the process.

Now we wait to hear back from Santa - he always sends a letter to let Jake know that he's watching and that he hopes to bring what he wants for Christmas. Ahh, to be a child and dream of Christmas morning - good times - good times. It's definitely one that brings a smile to my face remembering many as a young girl. I hope the sound is okay on the video - you might have to turn up the volume a bit to hear.
