Love Letters

I can’t believe it’s been a year ago that I wrote the girls “I Love You” letters and posted them on our family blog. So with each new year brings a set of new letters to the girls. I can’t believe how much they have changed over the year but one thing is for sure, I love them more than ever!


Dear Emma,
I love your spirit and that you go into everything with such excitement, I love your energy and wonder how you always have so much, I love your laugh and the feeling I get when I hear you so happy, I love your new toothless smile, I love that you are clumsy and can laugh about it, I love that you love to pretend and play games, I love that you love to go to parties, I love that you have mastered the art of negotiation, I loved that you love to learn and hope that never changes, I love that you love music and that you love to sing, I love that you are learning to play piano and I know one day you will love it too, I love that you still want me to put you to bed every night, I love that you love my stories, I love that you like spending time with me, I love that you are sensitive but confident, I love that you love your sisters and that you always make sure they are included, I love that people always tell me how sweet you are, I love that you create happiness, I love that you made me a mommy, I love watching you turn into a young lady and love that you share with us what is important to you. Emma, enough words can’t be written to tell you how much I love you, I love you for you and for how I feel when I am with you.

I Love You,
Mom


Dear Ally,
I love that your smile is like sunshine, I love that just seeing you makes me happy, I love that you’re willing to share everything, I love that you are so athletic, I love that you love dresses and sparkly shoes, I love that you can make anyone laugh, I love that I am supposed to be the one teaching you but realize you are teaching me so much, I love that you are boy crazy, I love that you can make friends anywhere we go, I love that you just love to play, I love that we can share laughter and tears, I love that you antagonize your sisters, I love that you have this personality that is uniquely your own, I love that you melt my heart, I love the way you dance, I love that you are the middle child, I love that you are honest with your words and kind with your heart, I love that you are so laid back and easy going, I love that when you are home for the day you go straight to your room and put on your pajamas, I love that you love musicals like Hair Spray and Bye Bye Birdie, I love that you are hilariously funny and you make me laugh everyday but mostly I love that I am so in love with you. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you, although I don’t want it to go any faster than it’s going. I don’t how it’s possible but I love you more and more everyday!

I Love You,
Mom



Dear Katie,
I love that you are so loving and compassionate, I love the way you always hold my hand, I love your big eyes and long eyelashes, I love that you have a vocabulary way beyond your year, I love your personality and the animated faces you make, I love that you follow around your sisters and want to be a part of everything they do and I love that they usually include you, I love the way you say yellow and fabulous, I love that you call me to sleep with you, I love the sound of your voice, I love that you always want to be around me, I love that The Wizard of Oz is one of your favorite movies, I love that you started pre-school this year and that you have adapted so well, I love that you are so easy to please, I love that you love to read and love your sticker books, I love that you would eat suckers for breakfast, lunch and dinner with bubble gum for a snack in between, I love that you love pizza and pasta, I love that you love to wear swimming suits all year long, I love that you are my baby, I love the way you brush your hair out of your eyes, I love that you love to sing and dance, I love that I have a weakness for your smile, I could go on and on about things that I love, but more importantly than things I can write down is that you know my love has no boundaries or limitations. You are simply irresistible and I am so thankful for you.

I Love You,
Mom
