Lucille is sitting quietly at daddy's desk writing, cutting and taping things in her tablet. I am organizing Christmas clutter in the living room. I hear from the office "Mommy where's an envelope". I reply "Oh honey, I don't know where daddy keeps those. Just make one with your paper". I continue organizing and see Lucy skip up the stairs with her paper. I think nothing of it. Hours later she asks if she can check the mailbox. She returns with the saddest look on face. I asked her why she was so said and she told me that the mail lady didn't take her letter. I ask "What letter sweetie?". She tells me "The one I wrote to all the kids on the other side of the world". I stand there speechless and Trent explains that she may need one of his envelopes and a postage stamp. She returns and shows me her addressed & stamped envelope and I see written in her handwriting:
To: All The Kids On The Other Side Of The World
From: Lucy 1077 Van Buren Street Shakopee the Black and White House
I asked her what the letter was about and she explained that Santa had already been to our house and he was on his way to the other side of the earth and she wanted to let all the kids know he was coming.
I love you Lucille Susanne, you make my heart smile!
