I’ve been slacking a little bit on these letters, haven’t I? I am sorry I have been working so much, but thankfully we are done with the big stuff for this year at work. I’m all yours little lady!

This Christmas will be the best one yet. You are thoroughly enthralled in all things Santa and magic and cheer and glitter. Always glitter. I cannot wait to see your face on Christmas morning when you open your gifts.  I remember when I was a kid, how excited I was to know that Santa brought so much stuff that I loved, that I didn’t even ask for. I hope we have done the same for you. I think I am far more excited about your “big gift” than you will be at first.

I love your leadership, even when it gets you into sticky situations at school. I love how caring you are, always looking out for others and concerned for them. And even though you are a fierce little thing, I love that you argue for what you feel/believe is right. I love that you call peppermint “spicy” and call me Mommy still. I love, love, love that you love learning. You can sit for hours tracing letters and sounding them out. You remind me of me in that way. The stubbornness, that is all your dad!

Love you pretty girl.
