Where are the cameras?

Kira and Maia are very excited for Christmas this year! They've helped me decorate the house, shop and wrap presents. We even made a gingerbread house. Their minds have been racing trying to figure out all there is to know about Santa, the elves and the sleigh. We were sitting at dinner the other day and Kira asked me, 'Mom, where are the cameras?' Puzzled, I inquired about what she was talking about. She then said, 'The cameras that Santa uses to watch us to make sure we are being good! I know where they are at, at school. Where are they in our house????'

Kira is also very concerned how Santa is going to deliver the presents when our fireplace is 'locked' (it is a gas fireplace with a permanent window). She keeps making me assure her that Santa has a key and will be able to get in. I don't recall thinking that hard about Santa and how he was going to accomplish everything when I was little.

Cloudless sky

'Mom, God lives up in the sky in the clouds, right?'.

'Yes, Kira'.

'Well, when there are no clouds, where does he sit?'

Think fast Heidi...think fast!

'Honey, he sits by Grandma Linda's and Papa's house then because there are usually clouds where they live.' :)

'He can travel there fast huh? Because he is already up in the sky like the airplanes'.

'Good thinking, honey.'

Dear Santa...

I want a new Nemo kite. I would like you to bring my sister a new doll. Please bring my Mom a new purse. Please bring my Dad a new computer.

Love,
Kira
