Tyler's Santa Gift- Nintendo DS & a game and his special sleigh bell
Rylee's Santa gift- Wii & Mario Kart and her special Sleigh Bell
Before Christmas I just put a couple of wrapped presents for each kid under the tree. Then on Christmas Eve, after we go thru all of our traditions, and the kids go to bed, I put the rest of their presents from us under the tree and Santa leaves his "big Santa gifts" and fills their stockings. Every Christmas the kids write a letter to Santa to leave with the cookies and milk and have been asking for him to leave a half eaten cookie, etc. Well this year Rylee decided to step it up a little to see if Santa really "is real"!! She asked (the day before Christmas may I add!) for him to leave them the usual cookie and also a bell from his sleigh!! So mommy got a little creative this year- I ran up to walmart and bought 2 big bells from the ornament section and some spray glitter. I also found some cute really big gift tags. I always buy some sort of Santa wrapping paper without the kids and wrap their "Santa gifts" in it and throw it away without them seeing- wasteful I know but gotta destroy the evidence!! Well this year I wrapped their presents and sprayed them down with the glitter and did the same to the "sleigh bells". The kids went crazy- those bells def. came from Santa's sleigh...they even have glitter on them from the reindeer food we put in the yard- that's what Rylee said!! .....Well that just made all the work worth it!!
