Hey guys, sorry it's been so long since my last update. Work has been killing me. But here's the next entry. I was going to post two today, but it's late where I live, so I'll post the other one tomorrow, if I remember.

Maybe i can ask mama and papa if you can cum out just for a little bit. I hope they say yes. I stil mis you lots and lots.

Anna
Dear Anna,
I know how excited you get about your birthdays and I know it's hard for you, but you have to be patient. It's sad to say, but your birthday won't come any faster just because you will it to. And please try not to sneak around and find out if anyone's planning anything special for you. It's best that you not find out until your birthday, otherwise it's not a surprise (and surprises are so much more fun).
I know you want me to be there, but I don't think Papa will think it's a good idea, and though it hurts me to say it, I have to agree with him. I'm sure Mama would want to give me the chance to venture out of my room, but I just know what Papa would say. My magic is still too unstable and it would be taking a big risk for me to come and see you. But I promise, someday, I'll make up for all the birthdays that I miss.
Love,
Elsa
Once again, I apologize if this story seems to be dragging, but I promise, just two more years, and I'll start making those bigger time jumps.
Up next: Anna's 7th birthday and then possibly another small time jump.
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
