Dear Santa Claus,

I have a really hard time believing that Lilly will be 1 in less then a month! It really seems like we just brought her home from the hospital and to think in less then a month we will be bringing home another baby from the hospital. God has been very good to us this year!

Lilly and I started getting ready for Christmas today, she wore her Christmas t-shirt and we decorated Christmas cookies. She tested one of the candy canes to make sure they were ok to share.

We also wrote her first letter to Santa Claus. She sends her love to Mrs. Claus, the elves and of course all of the reindeer who she promises to leave at least a couple of buckeyes for. The first thing on her list was a baby brother, followed by Mickey Mouse toys and a few noisy toys.

This is going to be a very exciting month for us, so we will try to keep you posted along the way.
