Brad, Traci, and kids: Letters to Santa

Letters to Santa

Last weekend we went to Macy's where they have a cute little letter-writing center set up. The girls each sat at the desk and crafted their letters to Santa.

Then they put the letters in the mailbox.

Leah asked for a Belle doll with a blue dress.

Lainy asked for a remote control car and a talking Jessie doll.

After a visit with Santa, they might just get their Christmas wishes!

We also stopped at an old hotel downtown to see the Christmas decorations. The girls found a real ballroom with marble floors and walls lined with mirrors. Brad and I were admiring some paintings and turned around to find this:

Who can resists twirling and dancing in a real ballroom?! Girls are so fun.
