Happy 5th Birthday Shane (Belated)

Dear Shane-
You turned 5 years old back in October and this is the first time I am writing to you. You had a wonderful day with your friends and the Red Power Ranger who came to celebrate with you! We have had an eventful fall with your Birthday Celebration and then we went to the Mountains for Thanksgiving. You skied for the first time, we went on a sleigh ride in the snow! You sang Christmas Carols with Santa and of course we toasted marsh mellows and went swimming in the indoor pool! It was a great time.

You have such an affinity for music that we are thinking about enrolling you in a music class but you don't want to go without Jackson. Jackson on the other hand has no interest in the music. The other day Daddy had the radio going on his phone and you and Daddy rocked out! You got a sword and used it is a guitar and you were dancing all over the place and sliding on the floor- it was funny to watch.

The other morning when we got up you said Mommy come here. So I went over to you. And you were very serious- Snowball has spicy breath. I think I heard someone in the house last night walking up the stairs and they must have come and given snowball spicy greenies so his breath and kisses are spicy! While I don't think anyone broke into the house to get Snowball's greenies it was a very cute story and you were very serious and concerned about this!

We got our Christmas tree this weekend, Daddy had to get almost the biggest tree they had. And we decorated it last night and sang Christmas Carols- your favorite song was Rudolf and you wanted to sing it without interruption! We broke a few ornaments but with all of the excitement I guess that wasn't so bad: to break 3 ornaments.  You and your brother are very focused on Christmas and every morning wake up and ask if it is Christmas- we have 2 more weeks until the Big S. man comes to visit- and you are prepared. Your Christmas list is LONG and in some cases irrational but funny to read- you have things on there such as a rainbow laser beam with side arrows on there.

I love you Shane Kilday, you are Mommy's sun, moon and stars!
All my love-
Mommy
