OMGah! Heartbreaking!
 

So "Santa" is getting the boys brand new shiny bicycles for Christmas because their old bikes are not only too small but they're totally rusted through because they didn't take care of them.

So Patrick decided to really drive the point home today that their bikes were totally ruined and got them out and started trying to "fix" them. Of course the boys came out and tried to help. They all came rushing in to google "why bikes rust" and Karsten burst into tears! It was SO SAD.

So I told him that he could write an emergency letter to Santa to get new PARTS for his bike and pray that it got there on time but that it might be too late. *waaaaah*

Totally dying to see their faces too. I think it is so awesome that they wanted to know how to help and their letters are so cute. I will everyone else..."Big Guy" stole my heart. :)

Hahahaha!!! My friend's kid wrote this yesterday:

"Dear Santa, I know I've been bad, but could you bring me presents anyway"
