Yesterday, Princess (our elf) made her third appearance. She came without much fanfare this year. We decided to let Carli find her on her own. When she got up, as usual, she came and watched cartoons on our bed. Later, she decided she was ready for breakfast, so she headed down the stairs. We muted the TV and waited.
"Princess?" is what we heard, and then "MOMMA...PRINCESS IS HERE!" She came flying up the stairs with her face all lit up. "She brought chocolate muffins and a Frozen plate and cup." She was so excited.
Princess also wrote her a note reminding her that she could talk to her, but she couldn't talk back and Carli was not to touch her.
This morning, Carli found Princess in the Christmas tree, along with a piece of paper for her to write her letter to Santa. Carli quickly sat down and began. We spelled everything for her and she did a really good job. As she was writing, I began to tear up thinking how she is growing up.
Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas. I want a My Little Pony, a Frozen dress, crayons (46 to be exact) and paint.
Love,
Carli.
