Dear Santa

I'm about to post word for word what Ava wrote in her letter to Santa. And if you're wondering why we are doing it so early, it's because she won't stop talking about all the things she wants so we needed to clear some head space for her. So the first little bit, I wrote for her and then when the listing starts...it's all her.

Dear Santa,

My name is Ava and I'm four years old. I think I have been good..so good that I thought of lots of things you can bring me. Here's my list:

1. Twinkle Toes

2. New motorcycle

3. New pink, orange, green, yellow, brown, and white papers

4. New baby doll what has rollerskates

5. froggy that hangs down like a puppet

6. New blanket where it has dots on it

7. pink tape

8. a fake bird

9. a chair like momma's chair

10. a real computer like momma's and a mouse

11. new paint

12. a craft room

13. a real telephone so I can call Nana and Poppy and Wara (Laura)

14. a real clock that rings

15. teddy bear

16. fake ladybug that crawls

17. a hammer like daddy's to bang screws in

18. the book Too Purplely

19. a green camera

20. more headbands

21. Purple scissors

That's all I want. Oh wait...I have one more thing...a lot, a lot, a lot of gum!

Love, Ava

She would have kept going but I told her I thought that was a good start. She comes by this so honestly. When I was little I would write front and back on a piece of notebook paper in extreme detail, each and every single thing I wanted. Oh and to the grandparents....please use her amazon wish list and not this one to buy things from! A fake bird?? That girl cracks me up!

Here's to long Christmas lists!
