Thing A and Thing B: December 23, 2009

Dear Santa,

We are writing a day early because we are heading up north to New Hampshire. We will leave cookies and milk out for you when we get to Cousin Simone's house. We KNOW she's been a good girl this year so you must already know her address. We want you to know we've been good girls all year long. Sure we have had our naughty moments but, for the most part, we've been nice!

We have been trying hard not to fight as much. Yes, sometimes we push, bite and yell at each other. But, we are really working on teamwork. Look, we worked together to help Daddy string up our Christmas lights.

We've also been working on listening to Mommy and Daddy. Sometimes we don't like to listen to what they tell us, but usually it's just us testing them. We promise we'll ease up on them and try to do what they tell us when they tell us to do it. See, here we are following directions on how to decorate our Christmas Tree.

Lastly, we are working on our tantrums. Screaming, crying, kicking, hitting, and throwing ourselves to the ground are a thing of the past. From now on, we will try to behave like nice little girls. Sorry for the big freak out when we came to visit you a few weeks ago at the Staten Island Mall. We were super excited to see you and waited patiently in line for almost an hour. However, the minute our turn came, we lost it. Lillian is really sorry for kicking you in the shins. I hope we weren't the only children who got asked not to sit on your lap that day. Maybe next year will be better!

We don't really have a wish list as anything we receive will be played with (fought over) together. Thanks Santa!
