Secrets, Secrets, They're No Fun. Secrets Are for Everyone!

DADDY: When you were 4 1/2, Mommy got pregnant with your new brother or sister. It was almost Christmas, and you overheard Mommy talking with her friend on the phone. So we told you and asked you to keep the secret and not tell your grandparents. Well, it turns out you are pretty terrible, although hilarious, at keeping secrets. When you leaked the secret to Daddy's parents, they thought you said, "Mommy has a bunny in her oven." Papa loved that and thought it was so cute. When you leaked the secret to Mommy's parents, you did it by giving "hints." "I have a Christmas secret that I can't tell you, but I will give you a hint." Then you said, "Before I go to Kindergarten, I will have to go to the hospital." Which is a pretty good clue. The stories are fun and the memories are good, but we learned...you aren't a very good 4-year-old secret keeper.

Fervent Prayer of a Righteous Girl

At every meal and prayer time for at least the last six months, your fervent prayer to God has been that you would get to see your foster sister again. Even when Santa asked you what you wanted for Christmas, you said, "To see my foster sister again." Which, as it turns out, is a tough wish for the red-and-white big guy to grant. Today, God answered "Yes!" Your face...your and her faces...were epic and priceless.
