Dear Santa...

Jacob told me today "I want to write my letter to Santa. How do you spell 'Jacob wants a go-cart?'" I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to his request! Lucky for me, I was in the middle of addressing Christmas cards so I could honestly say "mom needs a minute to finish this up and then we'll talk."

When we saw Santa at the mall (yes, before Thanksgiving) the elves taking the pictures seemed to have camera issues ...so the boys got to talk to Santa for a LOOOONG time. Long enough that they had an entire conversation with Santa about all of us having go-carts. Santa was asking them if they had a garage to keep them all in so they stayed out of the weather and if they had enough room to ride them. I think the verdict was if we don't have enough...Granny and Pa have enough. Grandpa would then be able to work on them too. Regardless, I was thrilled when the camera started working again and the picture was taken so the go-cart talk could finally end!!

It might've ended there temporarily but it was brought back up today.. Jacob wrote his own letter to Santa entirely by himself. I told him how to spell the words but the rest was up to him! He's really getting good at writing his letters without needing any reminders.

He had the whole letter written by the time I was helping Zach with his...when he heard Zach say he wanted hotwheels he thought he needed to add it to his too!

He drew his picture on the back of his letter.

I love his hair.

Zach dictated his letter to me and I wrote it for him. Before we wrote it though he drew his picture on the paper so Santa would know who it was from.

Isn't it sweet that Jacob asked for 2 cups with twisty straws so he could make sure they both got them? Really, he just doesn't want Jacob to steal his.

We'll mail them to the North Pole tomorrow...and pray that Santa's sleigh is big enough for a family of go-carts. hahaha!! yeah, right!
