Dear Santa,

Lilia's 1st letter to Santa~

Dear Santa,
We want toys! We love you so much. We love to eat chicken and we love to eat mashed potatoes. We want for Christmas is a doll house. Max wants candy, and I want candy in my stocking and Pocahontas and Jasmine. Daddy wants a 'tar (guitar). Max wants is a puppy, not a real puppy who not talks. And I want a dolly. Two dollies and dolly clothes. Grammy wants a Christmas is a hide. (she said it means- lions don't eat it.) Pop wants a little cat, not a real cat who doesn't scratch who doesn't do nothing ever. Max wants Little People and that's all. I love you so much.

Love, Lilia

-and we love to put the angel on the top.



(this is in her exact words)

Lilia and the "polka dots"

Twas almost Thanksgiving when all through the house
germs were spreading to every mouth.
The cousins were coming, the turkey was bought
but sickness had spread and all were caught.
Lilia started amoxicillin.
So did the parents and a few of the children.
Turkey was had
The house was a sight,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a round red spot on her bright and clear.
So I sprang to my phone
to the doc gave a call
and away we went with high hopes one and all.
She came to the room and went straight to her work
made a few remarks then turned with a jerk.
I was left befuddled, bewildered and lost
she gave no solution to the wind we were tossed.
I grew angry and worried as Lily itched more,
so the very next day we went back out the door.
To Urgent Care we did go,
seeking help for my beau
for now she was covered with red head to toe.
Allergic reaction to the meds they think
they gave her some new meds for her to drink.
It took a few days for her to be well
But no longer does her face, feet and hands swell.
Grateful I am for the doctors and meds
that treated my girl and happily said,
"You are a beauty!" pink dots and all
and then my tears started to fall.
Lilia had polka dots, and oh what a sight
But now all is well, and to all a good night!
