I know that Landry is too young to understand, but I've really tried to talk to Addison the past few weeks about how blessed we are and how some kids won't be getting many presents for Christmas for reasons like lost jobs, etc. It is hard to make a three-year-old realize that the world doesn't revolve around her, but I'm trying.
