It's not super easy to see but that is, indeed, a letter from Santa Claus himself. I still don't know for sure who sent it...you know, on behalf of Santa...though I have my suspicions. Regardless, it was awesome. The letter talks about how Santa knows that Brooke and Joe have been good and that he and the elves will be visiting us soon. It even talks about how Santa heard that Brooke wants a kitchen for Christmas. Super cute! Though I'm not sure she totally understood the magnitude of receiving a letter from the Big Guy himself, she certainly was excited to get mail!

(In case you're wondering, yes he is too little to be eating real food already. But he's having some serious digestion issues lately and the pediatrician suggested rice cereal might help. So, at 3.5 months, the little man is already gobbling up 1 meal a day. Talk about growing up fast!)

(This is just part of a 5-minute long video that proves that toddlers have more energy than anything on the planet. Seriously, if I could bottle up her energy, Red Bull would be out of business and I'd be a rich woman. She was slap-happily running all throughout the house being crazy a toddler - which is why she's out of breath and coughing throughout this.)
