"Letters to Santa"














This week I've been thinking about the things my kids say and how excited they get about holidays like Halloween and Christmas. It's so entertaining to hear about things they've done at school or their interpretation of an event like an election. For instance, our four year-old son stated that he was "voting for John McCain". When we asked him why, he said "because he needs to brush his teeth because he has a cavity." Now, I have no idea how his little mind works, but I do know that we had to try really hard not to laugh.

Christmas time is great and the kids get so excited about Santa, especially the last year or two. It got me thinking about preserving some of those precious things they say and in response we've come up with our "Letters to Santa" sessions.

"Letters to Santa" sessions are mini sessions with the child drawing or thinking about what they would write to Santa. The sessions include one 8x10 portrait, like the example below, and includes the child's letter to Santa. I think these are a really cool way to remember what your child was into at this point in their life.
