Christmas Countdown….Day 16…visiting Santa

River was very excited to visit Santa and to sit on his lap.  We always say that you can ask Santa for one item.  So she thought about it and thought about it and finally came up with her one item…….”a sparkle ball toy that I can bring into the house.”  Then Santa asked what else she wanted, which always happens, and every year our kids are at a total loss for words because we tell them they can only ask Santa for one item!  Sometimes they even get so tongue tied that they can’t even remember their ONE item.  They one year, Quinn, was so excited to see Santa, that when he asked what he wanted for Christmas, he went totally blank….and after a few seconds…blurted out……”a toothbrush!”

Also, I had to run out the other night to do some errands and when I came back, Tuesday was very involved in a project.  She was working completely on her own and had gotten no help.  When she was finished with her project, she proudly showed it to me….a manger!  I loved it…it is so detailed…..she even took a pin and made little holes in the sheep to make it have a wooly effect!
