This year Derek wrote his very first letter to Santa! It was one of the cutest things I've ever seen! The number one thing he asked Santa for was a fan - like a little folding fan- because he got one when we went bowling, and it broke. I thought that was so sweet that he asked for something so small and simple! He also asked for a toy house, and a real dog. I explained to him that Santa might not be able to bring a real dog because we can't have dogs where we live, and he said "Well....we're going to be at Nanny and Papa's house for Christmas, and they have a dog- Zoe!" haha! I thought that was pretty good logic!
We were going to send Derek's Santa letter in the mail, then we heard about a very cool "Elf Mailbox." Derek put his letter to Santa in the box at night, and Santa's helpers took it away and left a small surprise for Derek and Cooper!

Hey, this is fun!
Santa was so nice and actually left Derek's letter in his stocking on Christmas Eve ( I think he knew that I really wanted to keep it!)- and he wrote a little note back to Derek!

What a great idea! I'll have to steal that when Eli starts wanting to write Santa. And P.S. both of the boys look so big. I expect that from Derek, but Cooper is starting to look like a toddler. When did that happen? We need to see you guys soon! :)
So cute! You are so creative Amber! You seriously have the cutest ideas. Those are some lucky boys! I agree with katie, they both are getting so big! And they both look so cute...I miss you guys!
