Dear Kieran,
How are you doing today? I miss and love you very much!
I hope you’re enjoying winter break from school. Sometimes
winter breaks can get awful long as you don’t get to see and play with your friends
every day, but having free time to play with your own toys is fun, too.
What did you receive for Christmas? Grandma and Grandpa,
Uncle Chris and Aunt Suzy, and I had lots of fun picking our Christmas gifts
for you. We still have a couple left to give, and I’ll be sure to bring those
when we get together next Friday – which is in just six days!
I bet you’re having fun playing in the snow. Have you made a
snowman yet? You always enjoyed going out into the snow in the mountains when
we lived in California. We’d go sliding, make snowmen, and toss snowballs.
What do you plan to do for New Year’s Eve? A lot of people
stay up until midnight so that they can say they were awake during the first
minute of the new year. That’s staying up really late! Last year on New Year’s
Eve, we went to the fireworks at Legoland. It was held at 6 p.m., and you fell asleep
in the car on the way back home!
Have you read any good books lately? I have. It was “The Big
Snow,” by Berta and Elmer Hader. It’s all about how geese, rabbits, deer, raccoons
and chipmunks in a forest got ready for the first snowfall of winter. There are
some very beautiful illustrations of animals in it. I bet your school library
has the book; if not, your local city library probably does.
Well, that is all for now. I can’t wait to see you on Jan.
4, and in the meantime I look forward to receiving your email responding to
mine.
Love,
Dad
