The kids have been thinking long and hard about what they want from Santa this year. Collin has stuck with the Diego Backpack solid for over a month!! Keep in mind this is a toy designed for 2 year olds, but that is what he wants. On the other hand he wants his own computer so that he can play on his school website "whenever he wants". His list has been pretty consistent. Ella on the other hand changes her mind every time we go to the store. Last week she wanted Barbies, then it was puzzles, now a play pony. The only thing that has made her list every time is the Bakugan carrying case.
They have been a little skeptical this year about santa - they still totally believe in him, but they have been telling me that they know the santas that they see are not the "real" santa. Over the weekend the fire department came around collecting toys for kids, santa was riding along. They heard the sirens and went running to the window. They started yelling "the real santa, the real santa". Luckily I have bought so much stuff I was able to find something quick that they could donate. They went running out practically without shoes. By the time they got out there, santa was already 3 blocks down the street, so they really had to run. You should have heard how excited they were. When they finally caught up with santa they handed over their toy and then turned completely shy. They thought it was super funny that santa said "sorry for making you run". They were SO excited to have seen the REAL santa. I have no idea why they believed this was the real santa and none of the others!! But it reminds you how magical this time of year is!!
