Dear Santa...


I think most people remember there first Christmas after they find out there isn't really a Santa. I know I remember mine. I knew that the day was coming that Kendall would start to question the whole thing, but I was still pretty surprised when Brian's mom mentioned to him yesterday that Kendall had told her she didn't think Santa was real. I was really hoping to get one more year out of her. All of a sudden, I pictured my baby girl wearing a bra, shaving her legs, and wearing deodorant. I just want to keep her innocence! I know that it's not a big deal, but to me not believing is the first step in my eyes. So I decided to really kick it into overdrive this year with the whole Santa thing. Luckily I had letters for Santa that they could fill out and mail to the "North Pole". I don't know what my next step is going to be in my mission, but I'm hoping to make a believer out of my girl for one more year!! I definitely got a few good laughs out of some of the items they put on there list. The first thing Ryleigh wanted me to write down was googlie eyes (???) and a "light up nose like Rudolf". (again???) The girls pretty much said what they think Parker wanted from Santa because he just kept saying all kinds of verious silly thigs. The first thing Kendall wanted was some "Nail kit" she seen on TV. I have no idea what that is or where I can find it. Darn TV commercials!!

You need to get someone to write them a letter back from Santa(You can actually pay someone online to do it, google letters from santa. I did it one year) but the letter must have some kind of info that is special to them. Like, "I saw that you helped your sister with the puzzle the other day and that made me very happy." or "be sure to help your mom pick up legos before bed" Worked for me!

We are so there right now too. It has turned to threats. Basically Santa does not give gifts to non-believers. I love polar express and that magic of Christmas. And we had a talk about no putting doubt in the minds of her younger sis and bro as well as cousins. Summer is a bit younger at heart than most 7 year olds. She's pretty easy to keep into it. But Jason is ready to just come clean. Not me! Keep the magic alive:)Good Luck!

ahh...Lisa..this is so sad. I just thought my kids would forever believe! I guess I was wrong?! How old is Kendall? I just need to know so I can prepare myself...I know I have a few years, but this to me is a big deal! I guess the thought never crossed my mind that they would stop believing! Ok..back to reality. Love the santa paper..where did you get, I have to know!!!!!

Once they know there is no santa it fully changes everything, trust me.. Tyler believed until last year and now he gives me little winks whenever I even bring up Santa. It just does not feel right. The letters are an awesome idea.

Ok..so here's a thought...
I could write the letters from "santa" and mail them to you.
I also have an idea that might work....we could have Tom sneak around your house one night ringing some bells. You could tell the kids to listen and they just might hear santas bells. Just some thoughts....

I LOVE the letter idea. I think I have a few more years before I have to worry about it...hopefully.
