Dear Daddy,

My birthday party was today! It was so much fun! I wore my pretty new dress that I got yesterday! All my friends from school came: Maddy, Faith, Jessica, Danny, and Andrew. (Erica couldn't come though. She had a soccer game.) We played a lot of fun games, like tag, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, musical chairs, and hide-and-seek. Then we decorated the cupcakes Mommy and I made last night. We had a lot of candy and frosting to decorate them with! My cupcake had pink frosting, pink sprinkles, and pink jellybeans. It was super yummy! Mommy put a pink candle in the shape of an eight in the middle of my cupcake and lit it and everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to me. Then, we finally got to eat our cupcakes! Then, I got to open my presents! I got some clothes, money, and lots of lip gloss and nail polish. But the BEST gift of all was from you and Mommy, the Easy Bake Oven! I LOVE it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You and Mommy are the BEST! I can't wait until you come home so I can make you cakes and cupcakes and all sorts of yummy treats!

I have to go help Mommy clean up now. Promise me, next year that you'll be here for my 9th birthday party! Promise me, Daddy? Pretty please? I love you soooo much and missed you!

Love,

Kelly
