Christmas Lists

A friend of mine told me about this cool video you can make of Santa talking to your child. It's called PNP- Portable North Pole. You fill out information of age, grade in school, interests, and upload pictures to site. You send it through email and your kids can watch a video and it is as if Santa is talking to them. He even says their name or in Ani's case he says 'my friend' because they didn't have the right pronunciation for her name. I was surprised they had Mika. Anyways, you can decide if they are on the good list or bad. I put Bray and Ani on the good list and Mika's name was on the bad list. He tells her not give up and that she still has time to get on the good list. It was pretty funny. The kids thought it was sooo cool. The only downside was (and luckily my kids never questioned it) that they don't have different versions. So he says the same thing and after three times I thought maybe Bray might start to wonder... He never did.

Last year was the first year Bray really got into making a list. I really wish I would have written it down or taken a picture. I just remember he asked for a lot of board games and puzzles. This year I told them to write five things they wanted Santa to consider for them. They love making the list and they rewrite it almost every day. Since Ani is getting pretty good at writing, she wrote her list instead of circling pictures in the ads like last year.

Ani's List:

1. lip gloss
2. hello kitty purse
3. markers
4. doll
5. nintendo ds (thanks to her good friend's own list :)

the girl loves to draw. when we went to see santa, she told him she wanted two things the mostest (ha)... markers and lip gloss.

Bray's List:

1. just dance wii game
2. watch
3. Kreo transformer
4. new ds game
5. rollerblades

after a week (and talking to friends) it started to get longer
6. full zip hoodie (those mesh hoodies)
7. xbox with kinect
8. dance revolution xbox game
9. ipad2

seriously, with this kid, his list started to get ridiculous. when he went up to santa, i listened very closely. i wasn't sure anymore what was his #1 gift. when i made the santa video i put that santa knew he wanted the just dance game. he told the santa at dane's work party that his #1 was the just dance game and if santa couldn't bring that, a watch was a close second. this kid loves to dance and thoroughly enjoys all the dance games.

which brings me to a post office thief. okay, so i don't really know if it is the post office but two weeks ago we were suppose to get a device from our new car insurance to put on our car. it said delivered but i never received it. figured it got lost and asked the car insurance to send out another one. well, i've done a lot of online shopping this year (for reasons i might share in another post) and we were suppose to receive three different boxes this week. all said they were delivered but we never got those boxes either. i'm so glad his just dance game shipped ups because it looks like his watch is gone. along with mika's minnie mouse phone and plate set and ani's hello kitty bag. to the thief...hope you enjoy my kids' gifts, punk.
