10 years old!
Dear Holly,
When we look back years from now to your 10th birthday, “Warmies” will undeniably be one of the first things to come to mind. While you received several new Warmies as gifts for your birthday this year, the one that stood out to me most was the Barbie.
You told me, “Look, Daddy… it’s me as a Warmie!”…
It’s a common understanding among 4th grade girls that with you now officially owning over 30 Warmies, you have set the record for owning the most!
Love,

Dear Jack,
Your sister specifically wanted there to be an avocado piñata for her 10th birthday party. Mommy recruited you and Papa to not only hang it out on the tree in our backyard, but also to man the station while we took turns hitting it.
And of course, as I predicted, once it finally got burst open, you took it upon yourself to smash the remains of it to smithereens!
Love,
Daddy
10 years old tomorrow!
Dear Holly,
Normally I would write you a letter on your actual birthday, but this year is different and special… because Mommy and I are taking you to go see Russell Dickerson in concert on your actual 10th birthday tomorrow.
And I’m not exaggerating when I say that Mommy literally bought the tickets for this 6 months ago! So yeah… the two of you have been looking forward to this and talking about this for a long time.
It will be my honor to serve as your chauffeur for the event.
Oh, right… this is your “double digits” birthday. This is officially you entering the “tween” years.
But we won’t talk about that!
I love you, Holly!
Love,
Daddy

Dear Jack,
This past Saturday marked the official debut of Papa’s newest car project, which he has been building from the ground up for years now.
I love that you are a major car enthusiast like he is and that the two of you can work on restoring cars for hours together.
As for me… I don’t have that gene. But I did get to drive Papa’s new hot rod down to 3rd Saturday for its official debut!
Love,
Daddy

Dear Holly,
With our birthday just four days apart, it ultimately ends up feeling like an entire week of celebrating both of our birthdays at the same time. As I began receiving gifts in the mail for my birthday, so did you.
Leading up to my 45th birthday on Monday, you had been telling me how hard you were working on my gift.
I am so proud of the drawing you made for… featuring me as a unicorn.
You know how much I always appreciate you taking the time to come up with creative drawings for me. It was perfect!
Love,
Daddy
