Merry Christmas To Cadee-Bug

Dear Cadee,

Well, it's Christmas Eve, and Santa has started out on his journey around the world to visit all the children. He has already been to visit your cousins in Australia (did you know you have some cousins living half way around the world?). You must be getting sooooo excited by now. I hope Santa brings you everything you asked for, along with lots of fun and happy times. I wish I could see you, and hold you, and watch your face light up as you open your presents. I wonder where you are living now? Because we don't know where you are, I gave the presents I had picked out for you, to a little girl who's family we sponsor through my work. She does not have much, so I'm sure she will be thrilled to receive these gifts from you. Have a wonderful day my darling little grand daughter!

Love you forever,
Nan xxx

School Daze

Dear Cadee,

How time flies! Today must be your first day of school. I imagine you are finally starting kindergarten today. It's been an extra long wait for you, with the teachers being on strike. I bet you have special new clothes to wear for such a big event. I wish I could see you and give you special hugs to go with your first day. I hope you have the nicest teacher in the world. I remember when your daddy started kindergarten... he had such a fun time. His teacher even taught him to make stone soup. Have you ever made that before? I would love to be able to hear about all your adventures in this next chapter of your life. Have fun my precious little Cadee-bug.

Love you forever,
Nan xxx

Happy Birthday

Dear Cadee,

Wow, what a big day it is for you today! You are turning 5 years old! Wow, wow, WOW! It seems like just yesterday that we went to see you in the hospital when you were born, and held you for the first time. Then again, so much has happened since then, it seems like a lifetime ago. I'll bet you must be so big by now. And I imagine that your hair is long and curly?

Oh, how I wish I could see you again, and hold you, cuddle you, tickle you, and make you laugh. I love it when you laugh. Your laugh is just like your daddy's - loud and deep, coming from down beneath your belly. Your face lights up so much, it brightens even the darkest of days.

I remember when you daddy turned 5. He had a big party with all his friends from kindergarten. He got lots of presents, and everyone played lots of games. Your daddy won the game of Pin The Tail On The Donkey - do you know that game? I think maybe your daddy could see under his blindfold, because he knew exactly where to go to pin the tail.

I wonder if you're having a party, and what sort of games you like to play? I wonder what your favorite present is? And what sort of cake did Mommy make you? Or did Grandma make your cake? I hope Cadee, that you have a really, really fun day today. Daddy, Grumpy, Uncle Alex, Aunty Dez and I, are sending you all sorts of warm wishes and hugs.

Love you forever,
Nan xoxo

Happy New Year

Dear Cadee,

Today is the start of a whole new year. I hope your next 365 days are filled with fun, laughter, and very happy memories. This will be such an exciting year for you. I heard on the grapevine that Mommy is going to have a baby brother or sister for you... how exciting is that!? That little baby will be so lucky to have you for a big sister... I know you will be wonderful in your new role. And you'll be starting school later on this year as well... you are growing up so, so fast. I would love to be able to hold you and cuddle you again. Hopefully one day, we will. Happy New Year Cadee!

Love you forever,
Nan xx
