Her First Pen Pal

While we were in Missouri, Emily made a great new friend: Alyssa. The two girls look very similar with their curly blonde hair and chubby cheeks.
Last week, Emily drew a picture and "wrote" a letter to her new friend. She was so ecstatic when she received this in the mail.

I read the letter to her and handed back the page. She hugged it to her chest and shouted out to the unseen friend, "Thank you, 'Lyssa!" It was so cute! It would be really cool if this friendship continued, even if it is only by letter.

Sorry for the blurry image. She was swaying and wouldn't hold still.

SHe's a miniature you!!! Oh my goodness, that took me back. (Ok, so you were a bit older when we hung out, but still...)
