Dear Nana,

I am thinking about you today and looking at old pictures.

While looking, I realized that my daddy learned about perfect kisses on the cheek...

from you.

You know how you always tell me that you just like to watch me - that I am so fun to watch? Well, you must be telling the truth because I found all of these.

But don't forget that we also laugh together too.

Then I came across some others.  I didn't realize how tough things were for you and Grandpa when you were first married!

It all seems to have straightened out though...

so you must have been doing something right.

Now, as you welcome another year to your life you are also adding a whole new adventure...

and I am really excited for you.  Happy birthday, Nana!  And happy new year too!

I love you!

PS Could I come over and play with your toys in the drawer?  :)
