This year, my twins wrote their first letter to Santa. They took the toy catalogue, and they chose their presents. Fabien asked for a Batman costume, a bike and a remote-controlled car. As for Anna, she ordered roller skates, a doll with a pram [US: stroller], and some modelling clay. And we also decided to order a swing for the garden! Now, we must wait for Christmas!
