Dear Chloe,

Happy seventh birthday! It came very fast, I think I am still in the mode of Thanksgiving was just last week. Crazy weather will do that!

You have done and learned a lot of things this past year. Remember going to Kansas City to see the Bengals preseason game, and the very nice guy with the Chiefs TeePee? Or how about the water park we stayed at, that was fun. You really loved that slide.

Or how about the time you went to the movie theater with your friend and Mommy. I don’t remember the movie, but you loved it!

You still know your verses and a few more, this is more my fault than yours, but we will continue to work on this some more this year.

You do enjoy being in the first grade with your teacher Mrs. McGrath. You also enjoy your classmates and you seem to be quite popular! While it is nice to be popular at school and other places, always remember not to exclude someone. I know from experience how this hurts.

But enough of that, the biggest thing I am the most proud of your for is the fact that you can read every word I used in this letter to you! Now lets get the bike tackled and you will have so much fun this year!

Happy Birthday Chloe, we love you very much!

Daddy, Mommy, Samwich, Gary…
