Dear Santa

I have been an especially good girl this year. I know everyone thinks the 2's are difficult but it is clearly not the case. 3 has it's moments but it's all about the journey and the lessons learned so we can overlook the tantrums, the spoiled fits, and outright defiance, right Santa? For the most part I am well-behaved and am just testing my boundaries as all 3-year olds do... it's out of my control, really but I am learning about consequences and privileges, and though sometimes a hard lesson learned, I am growing into the good little girl I know I am.

I am kind, sweet, and loving to everyone I meet. I share with friends, new and old, and quickly want to help anyone in need. I console younger kids and friends when they are sad or hurt; I eagerly (sometimes too much so)rush to help Mommy in the kitchen, Grandad in the garage, or Daddy with his computer; and I have a hug and smile for everyone, including the strangers Mommy is desperately trying to teach me to avoid:)

Even though we are in a house temporarily while we while we wait to move into our new home in January, the Christmas tree is up and ready for you. Can you believe another year has gone by? It's been a busy one, full of change, so in the midst of all the boxes and chaos, I am eagerly awaiting your arrival and wish you, Mrs. Claus, the reindeer and elves a very Merry Christmas!!!

Love,
Ella
