Letters to Santa and Christmas Tree

This year we sat down with the boys to write letters to santa. We mainly did a Q&A format where we asked them questions and formulated their answers into the letter. Here are their letters in a nutshell:

John's letter:

Dear Santa,
I really want tools. I've been a good boy (said quietly and a little unsure). Please bring me music because I like (prounonced "yike") to dance. I love ("yuv") Santa, Ethan, Mama, Daddy and Duke. Please bring me pink balloons - 2 of them. Check your list Santa Clause. For mommy and daddy, please bring trolls. For Ethan - a book, for Grandpa - candy canes, for Grandma - tables and chairs, for Nana - ice cream. Merry Christmas! - john drury


Ethan's letter:

Dear Santa,
I've been a good boy. I would like a horsey and tools. I really like (yike) you and will make you cookies and milk. I've only been a little bit naughty this year...I was mean to Rawle at preschool when he was naughty to John. For mommy, please bring a horsey or something. For everyone else, please bring a horse or something. I love you! - ethan drury

The boys were sooooo excited to decorate our Christmas tree this year. We made the journey down to Logan Hill Tree Farm in Chehalis (with our good friends Chaney and Logan) and picked out a beautiful 7 foot Noble...for only $25! The tree farm was a little "backwoods/deliverance style", but we had fun and it is a fun memory. Here is a picture of our tree all decorated! Merry Christmas to all!

Terrible 3's

I had to post this because Jason totally made me laugh the other day. We were driving home from the cabin and the boys had finally fallen asleep after an hour or so of loudness....Jason asked me "so, how long do you think the terrible 3's will last?". My reply - "about 6 more months until they turn 4" *giggle, giggle, snort, snort*. They are such a blessing, but the terrible 2's definitely turned into the terrible 3's. I wonder what the 4's have in store for us....only time will tell :).
