8 years, 8 months.

Dear Holly,

After Aunt Dana’s birthday dinner at Nonna and Papa’s house Sunday night, your cousin Darla came over for a sleepover; as the two of you were out of school the next day for Martin Luther King Day.

Mommy was off, but I had to work on Monday. When I did emerge from my office/bedroom, I noticed something peculiar:

Legos were being taken of “eternal storage” in our garage and brought into the house for the two of you to play with. From there, you both decided you needed a new matching set of “Lego Friends”; which Mommy was nice enough to pick up for you at the store, after she took you both out for Starbucks.

I’d say you would consider the sleepover a success!

Love,

Daddy
