Dear Chloe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy 12th<\/sup> birthday sweetie pie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Congrats on your dozenth time around the sun! Sixth grade\nand you\u2019re doing well. This time last year, you were not liking fifth grade a\nwhole lot. But where did this last year go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, you might recall you started out by getting sick after\nyour birthday. I don\u2019t recall what you\nhad but it seemed it stuck with you for about two months. We even went to Minnesota during that blizzard,\nwhich was a great time for you and Sam but no so much for me and mom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You did a pretty good job doing some train spotting for me\nwhen the Big Boy UP 4014 came through Boone. \nYou did some picture taking as well when we went to see the Canadian\nPacific Holiday Train again this year in Mason City. It was a bit neater because it was darker\nwhen we saw it, but the magic wasn\u2019t the same this year because, well, you and\nSam didn\u2019t seem to be into as much. \nMaybe it was because it was cold, maybe it was because we had to hustle\nback. It might have been also because\nthey brought the train in backwards (so the engine wasn\u2019t lit up). We\u2019ll see if next year is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are still a leader in Patch, and this year you had the\nSailor Scripture down in the first month. \nI think you had it down on week one, but I think you wanted to make sure\nbefore you tried. Nothing wrong with\nthat, however sadly this will be your last year in Patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We didn\u2019t do a lot of traveling, mostly because that\nblizzard early kind of soured us on things. \nHopefully this year we can take a small trip someplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep working on the piano and all the crafty stuff you\nmake! You really do like making holiday\nthemed crafted items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re quite proud of you Chloe, and we love you so\nmuch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy Twelfth Birthday Chloe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love Dad, Mom, Sam<\/p>\n\n\n\n And others too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Chloe, Happy 12th birthday sweetie pie!
