"Are You Messing With Me?"

Last year Harleigh wanted a Nintendo DS for Christmas but Todd and I had already arranged with Santa to bring a Wii for our family. Then Harleigh wanted a Nintendo DS for her birthday this year but we've always given the kids their own set of scriptures on their 8th birthday, so that was what we planned on giving Harleigh. Well guess what Harleigh wants Santa to bring her this year for Christmas? Yup, a Nintendo DS. At our ward Christmas party she told Santa that she wanted a Nintendo DS.

Santa asked her if she would know how to run a Nintendo DS and she assured him that she would.

Later that night Todd asked her what she asked Santa for and of course she told him a Nintendo DS. Todd then told her the factory that Nintendo DS are made had burned down. Harleigh was a little upset and asked "are you messing with me?" Todd couldn't keep a straight face so she knew that he was teasing, which was a good thing because I think she would have wanted proof that it had burned down.

As she informed me tonight, tomorrow there are only ten more days and she'll see if Santa is going to bring her a Nintendo DS. She's even been caught cleaning up a room or two without being asked and has told me that she's "trying, to be nice to Jayce, it's just not easy Mom".
