Note to Santa



The cookies and milk were set out for Santa tonight as usual, but this year I also found a special note for Santa. Had to snap a picture to remember this one. I am curious about the reason for this note, especially considering my conversation with Olivia couple of years ago when she asked me for the truth......"Was Santa real?" I won't elaborate on that story now....but one day!

Silent NIght

Emily had her preschool Christmas program Sunday afternoon. Silent Night was the song her class was too sing. Of course she has been singing that song day and night for weeks, she busts out singing at random times. Though this child really always has a song heart. She sings a lot.
Anyway back to the story. That afternoon, her voice is the voice you hear above everyone else in her class. Pretty cute.....glad she knew all the words. When we were leaving a lady comes over to me and says, "good thing they had her singing up there."
She was no doubt very loud.
The next Monday at school the director makes a comment on what an "enthusiastic" singer she was, and how she really surprised her teacher since she never sang at all when they were practicing!
Stubborn Emily....I am not surprised at all.

White Elephant

I was shopping today with Emily and Abby today. We had been in one store a while when Abby said, " Momma, why are you buying a gift for a white elephant?" A big smile came across my face and the lady beside us started laughing. I had been talking on the phone earlier to my sister telling her I was going shopping because I needed a present for the white elephant. It was obvious that Abby had been pondering my words for sometime and finally decided to ask.
Too cute!
