My dear Scarbar, You like to ask what you did for Christmas when you were various ages, so here's a recap of this year. Your favorite gift was a big pillow to lean against and read on, which we stitched a Hufflepuff patch onto. I picture you leaning against it to read or knit in that little cozy spot we've made under your bed. You carried it to your cousin's house (because Esther got one too, GAAA EXCITEMENT) on Christmas Day, and happily dragged it all around.
You were so patient in the morning, while daddy roasted coffee beans and made the coffee, and we all brushed our teeth. You didn't rush out to the tree to look at gifts, you just came into the kitchen with us. Thank you for your patience, that's something I've been reminding you to work on.
Harry Potter Clue was your other favorite gift, but you also had books and several pair of zany stretch pants, a super warm coat daddy picked out for you, and a stocking full of candy. Then we spent a few hours playing board games, before heading to your cousins' house for the afternoon and evening. We ate perogies and went to sleep with very full bellies, thankful for family and food and a warm place to sleep. I have loved spending my Christmases with you, sweet girl.
With much love, your gracious Mama
