Dear Santa

 This is the first year that Alyse has "written" a letter to Santa.
She really wanted to write him a letter, so I pulled out a number of fliers, magazines, and some construction paper, tape, and scissors.

She got to work picking out what she wanted.

Once she was done, I wrote a letter to Santa for her.  I wrote down word for word what she said and then let her sign her name at the bottom.

Dear Santa,
I have been a very good girl.  I have been nice to my friends and my sister, Breeley.  And Mommy and Daddy too. Oh and Papa and Grammy.
I am thankful.  Thank you for the bear you got me last year.  The black one.  (Just so you know, she didn't get a black bear last year....)
I would like some toys. Pony things, babies, and the pictures I show you.
You bring things for Breeley too?  Monkeys, the cube, and balls.  The house I saw for Breeley.
I want to get some Barbie, books - well, I have books- some more books.
Have a good trip to our house.  I will leave you some cookies.  Say "Hi" to Santa's reindeer.  I will put some clothes on and you can take me outside to see them.
Goodbye,
Alyse

LOVE it! 
I think Santa will be saving his very 1st letter from Miss Alyse Nicole and treasure it.
