Very sorry for your loss. I would suggest being completely open and honest. It's not good to go with the whole, we took her to a farm to be happy line.
It will be tough, but honesty is the best policy. Have a memorial so you and your kids can say good bye.
Also, try rescuing a pup from the pound for Christmas. You can't replace your last friend, but it helps the healing process a lot to have a new dog to take care of and love.
