"my brown eyed girls" Dec 2009 in Cali

Christmas in Cali 2009/ Disneyland, Newport beach, and more...

This is the year it was all about Santa! Naomi wanted to know all about him and how he knows who is being "naughty or nice" and what kind of gifts she wants. So we did a lot of writing to Santa. The first letter she didn't think he got her letter so we wrote another one! I of course assured her he did receive it. And she would always ask, "But, how do you know for sure he got my letter." She also wanted to know where does Santa live and does he sleep and where is the North Pole? I did my best with all these answers. It was fun playing the Santa "card" many times when she needed to listen better. She did get everything she asked for, while in reality and affordability. ;) But I think Santa did OK this year. We even put out a few candies and a drink for Santa up on the fireplace on Christmas Eve, because Naomi thought he would want candies instead of cookies. We also gave him chocolate milk. Santa almost forgot to eat what we left for him, but luckily before Naomi could go down the stairs, it was eaten quickly by Santa of course. This was a really fun and happy Christmas spent at Grandma and Pappa's.
