Clare is so excited about Christmas this year. She's not the least bit afraid of Santa. Her elf, who she has affectionately named Purple, flies back and forth from our house to the North Pole every night to report on her day. She loves looking for him every morning. She wants 2 chairs (an art table), a Tinkerbell movie, a Tinkerbell costume, and a bike. I hope she can make it one more week so Santa can deliver all her goodies.
