Letters to Santa

We had the boys write their letters to Santa. Like last year, I thought it was a cool snapshot of what our boys' interests are. Note last year we just had ONE letter to Santa, but this year we have TWO!

Just in case Santa is reading my blog (nudge nudge wink wink), I thought this might be a quicker way for Santa to see the boys' wish lists.

Here's 7 year old ES's letter:


He wrote it all on his own. In case you can't decipher it, it says:
"Dear Santa, For Chirsmas this year I would like.... a..... remot control boat, playmob-il, Indiana Jones legos, a wedk-ins, cost gard legos boat, police comad center and headqauters, lego city coast gaurd truck with speed boat, Thank You! Sincerely [ES]."

Here's 4 year old YB's letter:


YB asked me how to spell each item. I would write it down on a sheet of paper, and then he copied it onto his list. I thought he did a pretty good job. In case you can't decipher it, it says:
  • Pokemon on DS
  • Ninja Turtles
  • Play Mobil
  • Star Wars Legos
  • dinosaur [Blunoz comment: he wants some mechanized remote control dinosaur he saw on TV, but I don't know which one. Actually, since I asked, my lovely wife is now watching one of YB's TV shows on the DVR in fast fwarward, watching for an ad for a dinosaur. :-)]

Oh, and Santa, as long as I've got your attention, I would like:
  • A carne asada burrito
  • Mole Poblano
  • Sopa pillas
  • Pecan pie
  • Orange sticks
  • A bottle of Stag's Leap Merlot or Syrah
  • A beautiful winter geocaching hike with my family
  • A week at Lake Winnipesaukee
  • A trip to Paris to see our friends LS & CC

    That's just adorable and what a great idea to share your boys' wish lists on your blog. Too cute!

    The only one on the first letter that I thought I could not decipher was the wedk-ins.

    I thought it said wedk-ins, turns out I was right and just don't know what that is. Guess I will have to do a little internet surfing homework.

    Hope that Santa treats your boys right this year.

    Wedkinz=Webkinz... little stuffed animals that you register on the webkinz site and then you can play with your new virtual pet online. ;-)

    CC, did you find a nice cheap place to stay?

    What's with ES wanting a boat from the puddle patrol? Isn't he a son of a SUBMARINER?

    Shape up Bluenoz and get that boy squared away. At this rate, he'll want to join the Air Farce.

    He actually wants a sub, but he wants to run it in the pond in the backyard so we (or maybe just me) were concerned it would get lost at the bottom of the pond without a trained crew riding inside of it. :-)
