the wishes have been made!

william and wes sat down last week and penned their letters to santa.  much thought went into it.


well, not really.  wes has been saying for months that all he wants for christmas is a snake (that he will name joey) and a watch.  and that's what he asked santa for.  all that william wrote down on his list was "buzz."



really??  i can handle a snake and a watch, but buzz?  we have a buzz.  we have several buzzes.  but this is a different buzz.  this buzz has "a blue belt that lights up."  and wouldn't you know that both wal-marts are out of special space ranger buzz?!  and this mama is not about to brave toys r us in mid-december.  so thank you to my friend, the internet, for helping santa out this year!!

after they folded their letters perfectly and got the outside of the envelope just right, they left their letters with eddie to take back to santa when he flew to the north pole.  this was a welcome surprise.  last year, william only trusted mr. danny at the post office with his letter to santa.  but since mr. danny retired last month, i guess eddie was the next best thing!



and chase and i have had to make a list of what else to give them since all they want are 3 things.  i keep asking them to tell me some other things, and chase keeps telling me to hush.  he likes the fact that they don't ask for much and says that in a few years they'll be asking for hundreds of dollars of electronics.  so, we need to enjoy the buzz and the snake named joey years!  fair enough.  as long as amazon delivers that buzz to my door on time!
