christmas lap.

the excitement of thanksgiving has come and gone. the pilgrims have vanished. just as quickly as the bird was devoured.

we've moved full force on to santa. and what he should bring. we've been wavering on what we think we should ask for when we sit on his lap. should it be a princess dress? a pink electric guitar? a kitchen? a drum set? or the easiest on the wallet and the ears. this week - a headband? personally i vote for the headband.

today. we thought barbies would be nice as well as a choo choo. for him and for her. he still is leaning towards a cooking (kitchen) and a headband (don't ask). i'm still gunning for the headband.

but the best part today was when they contemplated how they actually have to ask for these treasures. that they actually have to sit on his lap and ask. there were some tears of fear and shouts of joy. for he is a bit timid to sit on "christmas" lap (not santa's lap. he calls it "christmas lap") and she can't wait to get there. getting her off will be the issue. as was demonstrated by our visit to the easter bunny this spring...
