Dear Santa

I was told that making your list for Santa is a tradition that MUST be fulfilled the day after St. Bertha, and so it was done ...

This morning the CZ clan was summoned to the kitchen table to fulfill the hard task of choosing what makes the list and what doesn't.
The two Ls of the house had their work cut out for them ... well that was part of their work.
We debated and reviewed and we discussed and pondered.

Oh ... it was a hard task, let me tell you. 

 Lulu's stack after the cutting part

Then we had to write a letter to Santa. A requirement for everybody 5 and older!
And so L fought her way through the alphabet to write a letter to Good-Old-Santa all on her won!!!

I have bin gud! ( cute, she writes in a German accent :)

Then we went on to the REAL important part of the job, decorating. Can you say GLITTER!!!

We ended up with this. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present 

The Ls Lists for Santa 

 - 2010 -

List #1 by

Lillie Marie Sigrid Agnes Czarnota

her personal message

I am in heaven ... look what she wishes for and she said "it's from deep within my heart Mama"

awwwww ............quick give me a tissue!!!

This has been on her list for two consecutive years now!!! 

hint-hint Santa!!!!

This too was on her list last year. 

And a boys toy so Jay has more fun when he comes over. 

She LOVES this boy!!!

List #1 by

Lucy Luise Sigrid Agnes Czarnota

 A real ballerina tutu like in Swan Lake

A Ballerina Bar

(there is definitely a theme going on here!!!)

A Nutcracker Show and to dance in it

awwww ... more tissue please!!!

(may I remind you that this is the wish of a THREE year old!!!)

  and a play house for playing school with Lillie

That's it Santa! Easy peasy right?! ;)

We told them that there is a good chance that Santa may not be able to bring all of it and that he knew which present would be right for them. He IS magic after all!

We both, Papa and I, are very impressed with the amount of thought and consideration the Ls put into the wish list for this year.
I love that L is putting items on her list that she already had on her list last year and that Lulu, with her 3 years, is so much into dancing that she wishes for Christmas that she could dance in the Nutcracker.

We have two very wonderful little girls in our lives! Another big reason to be thankful for!

Honorable Mention of the Day:
We are now going to open bottle #2 (Gewuertztraminer) in honor of my little sister-in-law ;)
We will celebrate the Kleins BIG time today (that is a play on words AND true!!)
SO HAPPY 4 U guys!!!
