My dear Kiera,

You are now in fourth grade the last year in the elementary school, and then you’re off to the middle school. And next week is your 10th birthday, I can’t believe you’re in the double digits now. You are on the safety patrol at school, And you sure do love it. You’re the perfect person for it.

I had hip replacement a few weeks ago and you sent me a text and it said Grammy are you OK? How was the surgery? I saw a picture of you walking. I hope you feel better. Love you.

How sweet was that?

You are going to get another ear piercing for your birthday, you’re pretty excited about that And I get to go and watch, and I’m pretty excited about that

I love you, sweetie

 My dear Kiera, 

Your family and uncle Bryan,  aunt Sommer, Bryce, and Bowen and Papa and I all went on a little family cruise. It was just a quick three nighter. The ship was like a playground. It was more about the ship than the destinations. We had a great time, and I sure had fun with you guys. My only regret is uncle Danny and his family didn’t make it.

You guys came to our Florida place before, and after the cruise in my one neighbor, Kathy, you love to go visit her. Kathy had some spacers in her toes in the second day you went over to see her you said to her “ what is that between your toes, I wanted to ask you yesterday, but it was my first day here and I thought I should wait a day before I asked you. “

You have such a kind caring heart and I sure love you

Xxoo

 My sweet Keira,

You guys all came to Florida for a week and we all went on a three day cruise. It was a great time being together as always. I sure miss you when I’m gone. 

You love my neighbor Kathi, and when you come here you always want to go visit her. So, the first day you go over and visit her and then the second day we go over and she’s in her bare feet again and she has a spacer between her toes. You said to her I noticed that yesterday, but I didn’t want to ask because it was my first day here but why do you have that in your toes. You just crack me up.

I love you 

Xxoo

 My dear Kiera,

So on Christmas Eve you and your family came down to the house and Caden says Grammy what’s for supper and your mama says guys we didn’t come here for supper. We have a ton of leftovers at home. And you said then why did we come here? Oh my gosh it just cracked me up when you said that. Then you asked me if I thought you were on the naughty or the nice list. You were very concerned about that. I told you you were absolutely on the nice list. But your mom said even after you got home you were concerned you might be on the naughty list. But Santa came so all was well.

A couple days after Christmas. I got us all tickets to go to a play, you and your mom, aunt sommer and Bryce, Aunt Marissa and Lorelei. I got you three girls a necklace that was matching. So i gave it to you on the ride up, and Bryce sees it and gets very excited. and she says, Kate Spade, you get excited because she is, but you were excited because there was bubble wrap around your necklace. Hilarious.

We face timed on New Year’s eve, and you told me your family was making a fort, which is your tradition and then you all lay in the living room and watch TV until midnight. You told me you always look forward to,this night. 💖🥳

You are such a little sweetheart, and I love you so much

Xxoo
