Dear Santa...

Robyn brought home a large piece of red construction paper yesterday. On it was Santa's head, colored and glued on the top, and his black boots colored and glued on the bottom. In the middle was the gem: Her letter to Santa. I asked her where she had come up with her ideas - from the teacher? other students? "No - I thought of all of them myself!" In her sweet (and large) 1st grade writing, here was the letter:


Dear Santa,


Please bring some slippers.


Please bring some new teeth.


Please bring a new friend.


Please bring a play dol.


Please bring a journal.


Please bring some books.


Please bring some more snow.

-Robyn

Isn't that precious?

That's an Idea...

We're having Josh and Katelyn Fisher over for dinner tomorrow night.

Seth: "What are we having for dinner when they come?"

Mom: "I'm not sure. Do you have any ideas?"

S: "I don't know...maybe pigs in a blanket (hot dogs/crescent rolls) or sandwiches or something?"

M: "OK - any other ideas?"

S: "We could have a Christmasy dinner, like something that's green and red."

M: "What's something green and red?"

S: "M and M's!"
