Merry "Bop"mas!

Dearest Hailee Bop, It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! Mommy is off of work for the next 2 weeks and we are going to have a GREAT time together! So far, the past few days have been a blast! You made cookies with Grandma Rita and we went to the Nutcracker Ballet. It was awesome. Today we are going to Auntie Jacquie's House to decorate some more cookies!

You have come up with some "funnies" in the past few months. Here are some:

You said that you "couldn't resist David Cook". You meant to say "recognize".

When Daddy was out of town, you said you missed him. Then you went and smelled his pillow so that you could remember him.

You play with MY perfume bottles all the time. On Friday, you said we "needed to talk." You said that I need to ASK you before I take "your" perfume bottles back. You told me they are now yours because Daddy bought me some new perfume for Christmas.

Grandma bought you a Furr-Real pet kinda as a bribe! She is a kitty named LuLu. The other day before I left for work, I told you that you better behave for Grandma or she was going to take LuLu away. You told me that you would hide her before she could take it away.

Last night, Hunter sent a text message to you saying he loved and missed you. You said he "filled your bucket!"

You helped me make out the Christmas cards. You took the paper off the back of the envelopes, sealed them shut, and placed the stamps on them in the right places. You then said you'd "appreciate it" if I put them in a pile for you!

Sometimes, I am not sure if you are 3 or 13. I love you Hailee Bop and can't wait for Christmas morning! I wonder what Santa will bring you!

Love, Mommy
