as is our ohana tradition this time of year, rain and april sat down, pencil in hand, and wrote their wish list for santa. of course we know the true meaning of christmas has little to do with santa, but we believe the spirit of christmas has a lot to do with him. we are happy to say that we all still believe in santa and the good things he represents. Christmas is our favorite time of the year (summer is a very close 2nd).
without any further delay, here's rain's wish list. apparently santa's loaded. money is clearly no object in the clause household. whose kid is this? an iMac? nate, have you been talking to rain? if she gets all this stuff i'm asking for my own private island (with helicopter).
all i want is what's coming to me. all i want is my fair share. :)
april's list is somewhat more grounded.
here's our little tree that we bought earlier this month. notice the sweet decorating job that rain and april did.
this next shot shows our favorite ornaments. can you guess whose is whose?
here's some more of our favorites. we don't really do the traditional glass ball and tinsel look. one of the things we love to do every year is pick up a new hallmark ornament (or four).
this last one below is actually tied for my favorite. it makes me smile every time i see it.

LOVE this post DB!!! Rain has got her priorities straight! ;-)
My daughter has been begging me to put up the tree and I just found the inspiration to do so! Thanks!!
Rain's list is so cute. I love April's drawing!
Cute ornaments. I used to collect all the Eskimo ones every year.
Merry Christmas friends!!!
How cute! Rain seems like quite a character :)
awww..i love your ornaments, especially the last one!
It's so sweet of Rain to include a wish for her mommy in her list!
And April, your talent, where does it end?
i see an appalling lack of snoopy ornaments in your post. if rain gets anything on her list for santa i vote we do yankee swap c:
LOL! I love the iMac on the Santa run-down....that sounds like my list. :)
The tree is gorgeous!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Wow, that's some list Rain!! Could you ask him to drop some of those off at my house too?! :) April is a little more realistic, but I'm not sure how much more! I hear he's single. :) Hmmm, I thought I'd be able to guess the ornament (Disney = Kim!), but I guess not. Here'r my best guess...1=April, 2=Rain, 3=Kim, 4=David. How'd I do? Miss and love you!
thanks everyone for commenting. after i read rain's list i had to get it published. i'm gonna have to tell her santa had some expensive dental work or something.
angel ~ you nailed it!!
merry christmas and happy holidays to everyone!
Aww... your children are so adorable! Love the ornaments. Have a merry christmas!
Great list Rain and especially April :) Now, where exactly do we send the list? I have some things to request myself.
Merry Christmas!
I litteraly laughed out loud when read Aprils wish list.
A wii. A game for wii. A new controller for wii. A second wii. A new TV to go with the new wii. Funny stuff ...!

Those letters are classic!!! I hope you are keeping them in a book or something...so sweet!
Rain and I share the same brain. My list looks just like hers, except hers has better penmanship. :)
I love ALL the ornaments! Rain and April did an awesome job!
