Ashlin and Santa

Ashlin went to see Santa yesterday. She wouldn't sit on his lap but she did tell him what she wanted for Christmas. She told him a Barbie Bike that she can ride and a Barbie carrying case. She was being very shy so that's all she would tell him. Last night while I was tucking her in bed she asked me to take her back to see Santa because she forgot to tell him other stuff she wanted. So funny!! I told her I would write him a list.
