Winter fun in Rodman

Image
A foot of snow on Monday evening has given us two days of winter fun in Rodman so far. The kids enjoyed swinging in the snow - Max holds the record in long jumping from the moving swing, but his mother sticks her landings better. Peter and Max blazed the trail yesterday and we all had fun sledding this morning.  Now we're enjoying some hot chocolate and lunch while the mittens dry.

Letter to Santa and his reply

Max wrote his letter to Santa on Christmas Eve.  Included in his modest list of present requests were some philosophical questions for Jolly Saint Nick and a drawing of a dolphin.  He was very pleased to see the answers left among the cookie crumbs the following morning, and the dolphin sporting a Santa hat.  Dear Santa Claus, I would like: Legos - lots of them - a big sticker activity book, a book about ocean animals and a dinosaur activity book.  Questions: How old are you? Dear Max, I stopped counting birthdays many years ago. I'm no longer sure how old I am. What are you getting me? See for yourself. Where did you live as a child? With my paresnts, in many different places. Have I been good this year? According to my lists, yes.  Am I right? How do children know you exist? They don't. It's the same for me. How do I know you exist? I just believe in you, that's all.
