Santa's list
Some friends and family are asking me what the kids want for Christmas. This always feels a little weird to me, to tell people exactly what to buy for our kids. I know it makes things much easier for the well-meaning buyers, but it still feels like it's a bit removed from the true meaning of the holidays.
OK, so now I'll admit that it's pretty fun to send my brother off into the Barbie aisle at Toys R Us, or my brother-in-law in search of pricey X-box games in crowded electronics stores. Time to go work on those lists...

I made a gift for Tara, it involves flowers and butterflies. I saw some Barbies for sale for 3 dollars! And I still have only one, from 1960, and a box full Jackie-O type clothes. The clothes they make for Barbie now would make my Barbie blush!
Austin might get a new X box game from us called "Turn That Thing Off".
