Believe
Many of you may recall that we do not do santa or tooth fairy or anything like that here in our house. I know, I know. SO many people disagree and that is ok. I do not think it is wrong or evil, I think believing in those are fun! I grew up with it and loved it! BUT if you are on the fence and are wondering what it would be like to not do these things... let me tell you....the excitement is still there no matter what!! Our oldest knew that we were taking her tooth and leaving a toy for her. She was up til 9 wondering if we were sneaking in yet. Instead she woke up to a note telling her to look on the couch. We got her a brand new soccer ball! She was beyond thrilled and woke up the whole house bouncing it at 6:20 a.m. She put the note we left her in her privacy box! It was magical and adorable, so if you are thinking of doing those things, rest assured that the excitement levels are the same. No regrets here! ;)

So sweet! (and she even gets to keep the tooth). :)
Good choice - not trying to stuff the soccer ball under the pillow.

I agree with you. We are the same way with Santa and all that stuff. There is no lack of excitement and its still fun for them. And they never have to deal with the disappointment when they find out you were lying to them for so many years! We say the tooth fairy came but its like a joke bc she knows it was one of us. :)
We don't either! I will never forget the heartbreak of finding out Santa was a fake. . . it seems a dirty, lying trick to play on innocent, trusting little people. . . while teaching them that lying is wrong?. . . and it just bugs me that Santa and Easter Bunny shoved the focus off of the birth and resurrection of Jesus. . . hmmmm, I smell a rat. . .
