I love letter writing to Santa and the magic of it all! Tonight Boston and Trevor wrote letters to Santa along with including an additional list of wants and desires. Boston had me help him and he asked Santa if he would still get gifts even if Santa saw him in the night if he gets up to go to the bathroom. I guess we've been telling Boston that Santa won't leave anything if you stay up and wait to see him. Trevor's letter just included a short note that said, "Please refer to my Christmas List for the three gifts mom and dad said I would be getting from you!" Then, the two of them put on their heavy winter coats over their p.j.s, put on their shoes and ran in the dark to the mail box to put the letters in. I hope Santa gets those letters quick enough to respond! I remember one year getting a letter from Santa when I was about five years old that told me that I needed to be nice to my brother Brett if I wanted to get gifts that year. I guess I needed to be a nicer sister. Hopefully, over the years I have changed and now Brett can say that I have been nice to him! If I am lucky then Santa will leave a great gift for me this year!

What a great tradition. I am sure the boys love it and so exciting it must be the day their letter back arrives.
Last year we got stuck in crazy traffic and couldn't get to the ward party where the boys were going to tell Santa their lists. When we finally got home (an hour later!) we sat down and wrote him an email. The boys were talking about that the other day and asked if we could do it again. I guess we'll be doing that this week!
Miss you!
Traci, you've given me a great idea. We wrote letters to Santa too, but I didn't think about him writing one back. We keep threatening that Santa is watching, the letter will hopefully seal the deal.
