Dear Scarlet,
Mama says it is only eleven days until Christmas and she still has so much to do. There are lots of presents under the tree, but there will be even more by Christmas! The best part of Christmas isn't the presents, it is being with our family! We will get to see lots of people this year. Yaya and Grandpa are coming here all the way from China. I can't wait. Last time they came, it snowed, but Daddy said that was unusual weather for our area. We will be going to the beach for Christmas Day, but it will be too cold to swim. I asked Mama if we could play in the sand, but she said even the sand will be very cold.
I really like playing with our Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus toys. The Christmas toys are special just for this time of year, but Mama says that Christmas is important all year long because it is when our Savior first came to earth. Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
XOXOXO,
Sophia
PS Please don't ask me what your Christmas present is. It is very hard to surprise your twin sister, so don't tempt me. And don't tell Leesia and Lilly about their gifts, it took a long time to wrap those!
