Do you ever ask your loved ones to make a list for Christmas? Mr. Reay and I do. The kids always make lists for Santa. Not that we don’t get our list also. In the “Santa” list, the kids always include things that “we”, can’t afford to buy. This year, Sam decided that if Santa is really real, he should be able to read his thoughts! How clever!
The kids are not the only ones who make a list. Mr. Reay and I do as well. Mr. Reay is the kind of person that if he wants something, he just buys it himself. Every year we both take the time to write down what we would like from each other. We usually include inexpensive stuff and a couple of expensive ones. In all, we end up with about 8-10 things in our list. I usually pick about 3 to 5 things, that way he is still surprised and don’t really know what to expect on Christmas day.
This year we started training Luke on making a list. It turned out to be difficult, so we gave him a catalog and told him to circle what “Luke likes”. He did so well! I can’t wait till Christmas morning. My favorite part is watching them open their gifts and the look on their faces.

We told the kids to make a list. The girls gave us a HUGE list. Nathan gave us nothing. He told me he just wanted some new shoes and that was it. I was talking to a friend whose son is Nathan's friend and apparently he wants two things: Shoes and some Lego set. Glad I talked to her! hehe
My Christmas gift: $143 speeding ticket! Hmph!
Thats no fair! U gave that cop a gift! How come I dont get anything from you, but that stincky cop does? hehehe. Here they dont get anything with no list.
I'd much rather have given you a gift rather than that cop! BEE-LEEVE me! hehe!
