Pop Quiz

What's more fun than traveling cross country on an airplane with three small children?
A. a root canal
B. an IRS audit
C. 1,000 tiny paper cuts
D. all of the above

Not sure? Ask AMBER, who courageously volunteered to brave the journey with us. Probably not the easiest day of her life, but she definitely secured an incredibly high ranking in the "favorite aunt" category!

Thank you!

Dear Aunt Sabrina, Aunt Heather, and Nicole,
Thank you for coming to visit. We had so much fun with you. Megan misses making you laugh, and I'm still wishing I could play "cats" with Nicole. I loved all the horsey rides and the rainy visit to the beach. Thanks for letting me turn the animal game into the princess game, for making LOTS of popcorn, and for all the fun presents. It was great to have you here - Mom actually cooked something other than quesadillas! I hope you can come again soon.
Love,
Addie
