Letters to Santa

Yesterday for handwriting I had Liam write his letter to Santa.  He asked for Lego's.  A little while late Finnigan was sitting at the table with marker and paper "writing" a letter to Santa.  Since he doesn't know too many letters yet, or how to spell, he was scribbling...you know how kids write the up and down squiggles that look like cursive if you don't know how to read.  BUT, at the important parts he would write one letter, at the part where he was writing what Brenna wants he wrote a nice big "B"  he wrote an "L" for Liam, tried a "S" for Seamus and a "M" for mommy.  Then he drew pictures.  I wish I had snapped a picture of it right away, because Seamus spilled his juice on it, which of course washed all the writing away.  :( And of course he won't do it again if I ask him.  The nice thing is, Liam sat with him at the table, and basically copied down the letter he wrote to Santa for Finnigan to sign and draw his own picture.  What a nice big brother, I didn't ask or anything.  These kids are amazing!

   I have pretty much everything wrapped and under the tree.  Finnigan spends hours a day rearranging the gifts under the tree.  He doesn't open, or even shake them, just moves them in different places.  He also makes sure the letters to Santa are prominently placed.  I really can't say enough how much I love being with these boys.
