Letter From Santa

Merry Christmas everyone!

The Vedders Family had a quite a surprise when we awoke today. Down stairs waiting by an empty plate of Christmas Cookies we found a note from Santa himself. It read:

Merry Christmas Nathaniel and Zachary! The cookies you left for me were very yummy in my tummy…I can tell that you made them fresh for me just before I arrived. I know you two have had trouble listening to Mom and Dad a time or two this past year, but for the most part you were very good. I know you guys will work on it for next year. Thank you for taking the time to visit me at River Town Crossings Mall. I really enjoyed talking to you. For being so good this past year, I’ve brought you just what you wanted…Zachary, a guitar and crash car and for Nathaniel some animal daycare things. Just so you know, the blue paper and the green and white Santa paper are Nathaniel’s presents and the green paper and the red Santa paper are Zachary’s presents. Well boys I have to run, I’ll be sure to say hi to Rudolf and all my reindeer for you. Keep up the good work and I’ll see you next year.

Love,

Mr. C

That Mr. C, you really can’t get anything past him. It’s almost as though he sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, and he knows if you’ve been bad or good. All I can say is, be good for goodness sake!

Knapp Charter Academy’s 2008 Holiday Program

Nathaniel preformed with his classmates from Knapp Charter Academy on Monday December 15. This part of the program featured the first, second, and third graders at the school. Nathaniel and his fellow classmates did a superb job. I must apologize in advance for the poor video quality, the lighting was not overly conducive for recording. At any rate, enjoy!

Blue Elmo

As previously twitted, tonight as Zachary was getting ready for bed he pulled out his Cookie Monster stuffed animal turned to me and said, “Hey Dad! Look, it’s Blue Elmo.” Knowing that 1). Zachary has seen Sesame Street on too many occasions to quantify and 2). Zachary really loves his cookies, I would have thought he would have known right away as to who Cookie Monster was. Apparently the older Sesame Street characters don’t get as much attention on TV as they once did. Perhaps kids don’t remember him as well as previous generations do because of the continuous featuring of Elmo or maybe it’s because of the shift in focus behind his new campaign that says “Cookies are a sometimes food.” At any raite, tomorrow I’ll be pulling out one of my all time favorite Christmas specials, the classic Christmas Eve on Sesame Street so that I can reintroduce the characters to him.

See Who made Santa’s List

Just the other day I was wondering how Nathaniel and Zachary were doing on Santa’s Naughty or Nice list. It just so happens that the Jolly man himself happened to send me a video explaining how they were doing. Feel free to check for your self to see how Nathaniel and Zachary stack up on Santa’s list. Oh, and one more thing, you better watch out I know Santa is watching you too.
