Giada De Laurentiis' 4-Year-Old Daughter Believes in Santa

Santa Claus exists or not, Giada De Laurentiis' little daughter still patiently waits for the white-bearded man to receive the gifts she wants.

During a chat with People magazine, Italian American chef/ writer De Laurentiis opened up about her four-year-old daughter, Jade Marie.

"She leaves him little treats - for the reindeer and for him too - and she's very much a believer in Santa," De Laurentiis told People magazine. "I hope she'll be a believer for a long time, I think it's really fun for kids to be able to do that."

The little girl has recently found a passion in engaging more in "girly girl" type of games.

"She's opened up her own little salon in her playroom. She gives free makeovers, she curls people's hair and gives them little manicures as well," the proud mother said. "I've always been a girly girl my whole life - maybe she will, maybe she won't - but it's a lot of fun to play with her right now."

Clip-on earrings, was one of the items the girl wanted Santa to give her this time.

"The one thing she keeps asking me for over and over again is clip-on earrings. She must have seen them on somebody else, but she has asked me for clip-on earrings for the past month," the 42-year-old television personality revealed to People magazine. "I am on a mission to find clip-on earrings for her because I don't think she'll ever forgive me if I don't."

Jade Marie is the only child of De Laurentiis with husband, fashion designer Todd Thompson.
