Dear Santa

It's getting to be that time! And of course everywhere we go Aiden is seeing the Christmas decorations and is asking if it is Christmas yet...so we have to tell him that it's not until December and it is still November. And with all the toys out now he is asking to pick something out. Not that he needs more toys out in the open for him to want to pick something out, but it sure isn't helping! ;) But now we can say that we should save our money (because if he wants something now I tell him we have to use his money and then he won't have any...) and put it on our list for Santa. And if Santa thinks he's been good, and he's setting good examples like Jesus wants him to, then maybe he'll get it for Christmas. We try to do a good job with talking about Jesus and how we should act through the whole year, but especially now with His birthday coming up. So we don't talk about Santa without mentioning Jesus too.
So anyway, we made our list for Santa and took the kids to put it in the Santa Mail at Macy's. They were so excited to get their letters in the box, and we were excited for them. I took a few pictures, but it was my smaller camera and the lighting was bad...so they're not that good. But still it's a fun memory to have ;)

We went with James and Ally, and Baby Grace-but she's not in the picture. She did get a letter in there too though.

Aiden's letter says: Dear Santa, I've been a good boy. Please, I want a Rocky the Robot Truck, a guitar, a Wall-E, an Imaginext Fantasy Castle, and some Cars stuff. Thank you! Love, Aiden-and he really wrote his name :)

Devin's letter says: Dear Santa, Mommy says I've been a good boy this year. I want some CAT big Movin Rumblers, a guitar like my big brother, Elmo Live, and anything else like Aiden. Because I like to play with the same things. Thank you! Love, Devin-and he helped write his name too ;)

Here it goes!

Did it go in?

Ok, let's see if Santa brings me some cool stuff!
