ChRiStMaS PrEsEnTs

every year at Christmas we strike out with our kids. i guess i always think i know what they will like better then they do. so this year i had a goal not to be a know-it-all...i was going to get them what they ask for. i had the girls sit down and write their "official" letters to santa. i told them to take their time, because once these were mailed there would be no changing their minds. (this is mostly for my sake so i don't buy them something, and then the day before Christmas having them wanting something else...which they have done before.) so they girls were writting and coloring for about 1/2 an hour. here's what they asked for: annie wants make-up, a guitar, and a BRAT laptop (it's a toy laptop with a few games on it), oh and some new barbies. katelyn wants the holiday barbie, a laptop (a real one), and a nintendo Wii. Um...i don't even know what to say about that. last year she asked for a flat screen tv, so i don't know why i'm even surprised!
