This year the girls wrote letters to Santa and mailed them at our local recreation center's "Santa Mailbox". They carefully wrote out their letters (in pen no less...notice the small amounts of whiteout). They told me what they wanted to write and I told them how to spell each word. This was their first real letter to write. Toward the end of the letter they were commenting on how tired their hands were from writing so much.

Kristin's letter:
Dear Santa,
My name is Kristin. I am 4 years old. I want puppy slippers and a brown teddy bear. It was so nice to take a picture with you and Mrs. Claus. I love my sister Camryn.

Camryn's letter: (she got bored for a few minutes and started coloring in all the letters at the beginning)
Dear Santa,
My name is Camryn. I am 4 years old. I want puppy slippers and a brown teddy bear. It was so nice to take a picture with you and Mrs. Claus. I love my sister Kristin.

After all that hard work, we drove up to the special mailbox and the girls carefully placed their letters inside the mailbox.
