Santa is not 'real'! Grace informed us the other day that "Santa is not real, he's fake". What??? I wasn't ready to give up pretending, just yet.
It was time for Matt to sit her down and explained to her why we 'pretend' and what the true meaning of Christmas is, which she already knew. We basically said that it's not about receiving the gifts that counts, it's about giving to those that we love and helping others that are struggling during this time (anytime really). Also about celebrating Baby Jesus' birthday. I told her that we will need to keep the secret from Izabelle and others that may still believe in Santa. Which is kind of hard because anytime I'd say Santa, Grace would remind me that he is not 'real'.
O'Yeah, she has also told me that the Tooth fairy is not real, either. With is kind of sad because she hasn't lost a tooth, yet. And the Easter Bunny is a man dressed in a bunny suit, walking not hopping with easter eggs.
I don't know if I am really ready for this girl to grow up but she is doing it right in front of my eyes:(
Until Next Time
God Bless

The title made me think...your preggo!! Don't we all think of that when someone puts a title like that up though. haha.
A little sad Grace had to hear the news. I remember when I found out and I was around that age. My dad asked my mom something about my gift and exchanging it at the store. I was like, I thought santa brought this?! He didn't think I would hear. Well they had to break the news on Christmas. After that I would always sneak in the closet and try to find my gifts. hehe.
Um yeah I agree with Ashley..thought you were going to say you were preggo!! lol I was thinking, "I didn't hear the secret" haha!
This year with Alli Jo we still talk about Santa, but we're trying to focus on baby Jesus' birthday! She is all about birthday parties so we're going to celebrate Jesus' birthday just as it were one of ours =)
