For those of you who have read this blog in the past, you would remember me telling everyone that I won a giveaway over at Frugal Family Fun Blog. I ended up winning Printies. Printies are actually very cute and allows your child to make toys using their own imagination.

I honestly never thought how great a dress-up box could really be for a child. For Kalyssa’s 3rd birthday, I bought a lot of discounted Halloween costumes (75% off) as well as some items from The Dollar Tree. Vallory and Kalyssa had a ball playing dress-up together. Here are some of the pictures:

Kalyssa has also been dressing-up around here as well. Take a look!

Playing
This is absolutely the best investment ever!!

The other day, I was reading a post from one of my favorite blogs, “The Idea Room,” and it was all about letters to Santa. Here is the particular post: Letters to Santa.
So I decided that this could be a start of a Christmas tradition for Kalyssa until she gets old enough to realize that Santa is not real. Just a few minutes ago, Kalyssa set down to start writing her letter.

Writing letter to Santa
Here is what her actual letter ended up looking like.

Actual letter to Santa
(Not too bad of a letter for an almost three year old!!)
While writing the letter, Kalyssa told Tim and I that she wanted Santa to bring her a computer. She also told me that she wanted Santa to bring her some new clothes as well as a box. I’m not sure why she wants a box, but I am not going to try and figure it out!
After completing the letter, I helped her address the envelope and get it all sealed so we can send it to Santa tomorrow.

All sealed, waiting to mail out tomorrow
Now, I have to try and find someone who will be willing to play Santa and send her a letter back in the mail. Honestly, I think it would really make her happy to get a letter back from Santa. Now I have a mission!!!!
