The best presents of all

Brynlie wrapped these letters and put them under the tree for me and Ryan to open on Christmas. They were the highlight of the morning! By the way, the new scanner that Ryan bought me (which has made it possible for me to scan these letters) was definitely my second most favorite present!


Interpretations: First letter
"Dear Daddy, I love doing Daddy wrestle time with you! I love when you bring home donuts and chocolate pretzels. I hope you're having a Merry Christmas, Daddy. Thank you for working hard for our family. I love you, Mister Strong! I hope Santa brought you what you wanted this year, Big D! Here's a little poem I made for you: Daddy's are nice. Double that twice. But a Daddy's love is zero in price."
Second letter:
"Family Memories, a very Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Mommy. I love you so much. I hope you are doing well. I bet you'll love your present! I hope you have a Happy New Year. I hope you got what you wanted for Christmas from Mr. Claus. Blessings are sent to me for having such a great mother. May they come to you, too. I hope you've enjoyed spending time with your parents. Remember to be happy and follow your dreams! Your family loves you very much and I know it. Love, Brynlie"
Honestly, she could not be any sweeter.

There is nothing better than a hand-written note from a child. I cracked up at Big D for Ryan. I love it. What a sweet daughter you have.
