Dear Santa

~ Etc.

My 3 year old daughter wrote you a letter of her Christmas list.

I have no idea what it means, so I’ll just leave it to you Santa, since I know you are so smart and all knowing.

p.s. In case you’re wondering, I’ve been a very good girl this year too(did I mention you are handsome too?).  Your wonderful app says so. I’ve been using the app way too many times the past few weeks, but it works every time!  If my kids are not listening or misbehaving, I bust out my phone and start “scanning” them to see if they’re naughty or nice and they start behaving properly right away!  It’s changed my life.  Can you make another app that I can use after Christmas?  Thanks.
Sincerely,
VERY good girl Sarah

I feel loved when…

I feel loved when my kids try to match me.  Adi sang in a choir at our church on Sunday(which she did so beautifully), and when we were getting dressed, she wanted to match me exactly so she wore a gold sparkly dress, black jacket, black tights, and black shoes.  She was very worried about not having black shoes to match me and tried to talk me into wearing brown boots, but at last we found some black sandals she had that we forgot about.  As I was putting the sandals on Adi, I asked her, “Is it too small?” and she replied, “It’s tight…but, but it’s okay mommy! I will just wear it so we can be same same!”

We went to Jay’s work Christmas party where we ate and watched a play called A Christmas Carol.  As we were driving to the party, we realized how long it had been since the last time we went out on a date just the two of us!  As much as I love spending time with our whole family, I love spending time with just my husband and me.
