They grow up

THEY GROW UP WAY TO SOON....

Yesterday as we were getting ready to leave for Gymnastics, Emily said "Mom, did you know Santa isn't real? Noah told me Santa was just made up and really didn't come to our houses". She took me by surprise, as I didn't expect to hear this from my kids until much later. I tried to re-assure her that in fact not only did Santa live at the North Pole, but, he works very hard making ALL the toys for boys and girls to bring on Christmas Day. (That one was tough to say, seeing as how I spent the day at work writing Letters from Santa to all the kids.) She wasn't convinced so I said "Who do you believe me or Noah?" I'm sad to say, Noah won that one!
I didn't want to over explain, so I said to her "believe what is in her heart" and that really the only thing at Christmas we truly should believe in is Jesus. I was happy to say her response to that was "Mom, everyone knows baby Jesus is in heaven, but, Santa IS NOT at the North Pole".

Kids!! Gotta Love them!
