Dear Emma:
Happy Valentine's Day! Things have been really busy around my house since I hosted my first annual Valentine's Party over the weekend!
I spent all of my free time making delicious treats such as cake batter truffles and raspberry cheesecake cupcakes (you would have adored them!!).
(and also decorating my house with all the lovely flowers my amazing husband brought home for me!)
I hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day across the world! Miss you heaps!
Yours with love- Anna
Dear E,
I had a very busy Christmas holiday this year! Paul and I were bustling around from one relative's house to another's... it is a wonder we made it through the six family events scheduled over the course of just two days! It was really a lot of fun though...
I bet next year when you are spending Christmas with us you will get to take part in matching Kittle family pajamas!
We all got them! Even Jaron.
I bet next year you will get to join us at Benson Christmas breakfast... where we eat scrambled eggs with left-over Christmas Eve ham, and home-made cinnamon rolls.
(I will even let you help make the glogg for my Christmas Eve's Eve celebration... I am starting to make up my own holidays to host haha!)
The saddest part about my Christmas holiday was missing your phone call. We have talked every year on Christmas Eve and this year I missed your call by about eight minutes! (I may or may not have been singing Christmas carols along to a player piano at the time...I guess you will just have to wait until next year's Christmas Eve and find out for yourself!)
I hope you are having a really nice time on your Christmas hiking excursion! All that jogging you did up the hill on your lunch break should help. Miss you!
Yours with love-A
Dear E,
It is the highly anticipated Christmas season but here in the Midwest we are lacking one key component...snow! Paul and I have been busy decking the halls and rocking around the Christmas tree, but it doesn't look much like a winter wonderland without the snow.
We have our tree up! I strung tons of big vintage Christmas lights all over it but unfortunately they all blew out... it took forever too. Thankfully Paul took them down and re-strung other lights... lights that actually work haha.
Wish you were here to join in the festivities with me... if you were here right now I would pour you a glass of hot wassail to enjoy with a plethora of different Christmas cookies! You would probably tell me how being in America makes you a fatty (all that liquid and fried cheese) and I would say that we can just go to the Y and work it off! Here's to hoping next Christmas season you'll be here!
Yours with love- A
