You've Got Mail





This is Eryn's mailbox. She created this so I can leave her mail at night. Thank goodness not every night, but maybe once a week- which keeps it fun and exciting. She will set up her mailbox at night, then when I'm tucking her into bed she will remind me to write her a letter before I go to bed. Of course that is the first thing she will ask when I'm getting her up in the morning- "Did you put a letter in my mailbox?" I'll always add one in for Kaitlyn too, although Eryn did tell me that I can leave hers next to the mailbox, and not in it since it is not hers. I put both of them in anyways, she finally said that was okay since they do share a room. I thought I should take a picture of this so as time goes by and when she forgets, and we stop doing these fun little things, we can always come back and reminisce. Childhood is wonderful, it makes me wonder.....what kind cute things did I do when I was growing up? I do love writing them letters, it lets me tell them how special they are, and how grateful I am to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with sweet daughters.

Thanks for sharing this special experience. Old fashion letters are priceless. Word on a page are impactful!
