Ryanne got to go first. She gave Santa a big hug, then sat on his lap and said, "Santa, I want two purple presents for Christmas." Last week she told me, "Mom, I MIGHT get TWO (holding up two fingers, in case I wasn't clear on what that meant) presents for Christmas." That has recently changed into what she has been telling all of us, including Santa: that she wants two "purple" presents. Finally today I had to ask what that meant: does the present itself have to be purple, or just the wrapping paper? "Ummmm...just the wrapping paper," she said. Alexander of course just looked confused. We couldn't get him to smile, but at least he wasn't screaming in terror.
