Visions of Sugar Plums

Santa is the man of the hour here at the Costa Casa. A quick reminder that "Santa is watching" is usually enough to snap the kids out of a tantrum. It's a beautiful thing.

Cecilia is getting very excited that Santa brings presents to everyone. She diligently circles toys for her and Lucas on the Toy Menus, and the other day, she circled a coffeepot in the Bed, Bath and Beyond menu for me.

High atop her wish list is some new (and improved!) version of Candyland called Candyland Sweet Celebrations Game. She is bursting at the seams with excitement over sitting on Santa's lap so she can tell him about this wonderful new game.

Today, she informed me what Santa will be bringing other members of our family. They all must be on the nice list this year, because according to Cecilia, Santa will be bringing them:

Fuddy: A big pogo stick

Yaya: Fake eyelashes

Mima: New curtains

Daddy: A hat

Mommy: A hat like Daddy's

Lucas: A "magnet doodle"

Aunt Lauren: Tea

Rizzo: Cookies

At least she didn't say coal :)
