After dinner tonight, the builder opened the advent envelope for today and I read, “write letters to Santa.”  It took me a minute to explain the Santa letter writing to the kiddos, but soon they were happily dictating to me what they wanted to express.  Their favorite part was decorating their letters.  The dancer was busy for quite a while, drawing small squiggles and saying, “a” and “b.”  Some of her squiggles really did look like primitive “a’s.”  Pretty fun.  Can’t wait to mail their letters with them this week.
