Letters to Santa

The boys wrote their letters to Santa this week-end. You know the letters; the ones with the wish list of toys they want to receive. I need to make a mental note to myself for next year to get them to write their letters to Santa BEFORE I do their Christmas shopping!

Simi can write his own letters now, without any help. For Asher, I wrote the word in dashed lines and he traced them.

The interesting thing about the letters is that Simi asked Santa for items for Asher. He wanted Asher to have a dinosaur.

Later in the day, while they were in the car, Asher asked Simi to ask Santa for a violin for him. He wants it so bad that, even though it's on his own list, he hopes Simi's second request clinches the deal. Too cute. We better get that violin!

Simi wrote a separate note, reminding Santa not to forget the wrapping paper. I'm grateful for that note, because I HAVE forgotten to get some. Doh!
