Notes to

Dear Mom,
You have been staying with us for a few days now. I love it. I love having you to chat with and hang out with. Picking fabric colors is so much fun because it's with you. Thank you for listening to my endless chatter and for always loving me. Thank you for helping me with projects and being willing to teach me anything. Thank you for playing with my boys. It means the world to me. I am going to pretend that you live close by so it won't be as sad when you leave.
I love you.
Love,
Your daughter

Dear friends,
Thank you for coming to visit us today while our car was stuck in the shop. You brought us a yummy lunch and a little bit of sunshine. We loved talking and playing and catching up. It was wonderful and so are you.
Happily,
Your friends

Dear Autorepair Guys,
Thank you for taking especially good care of our car. Thank you for giving us wonderful service and explaining things carefully. For us non-mechanical people it is very comforting to have someone honest to trust. I have never been more impressed with customer service, speedy repairs, and overall quality in my car-maintenance.
Sincerely,
A satisfied customer

Dear Big Black Toy Spider,
Today you were Weston's best friend. You sat at the breakfast table, went on some pretty crazy adventures, took a few bites out of some bad guys, enjoyed a Diego episode, and were a pretty hilarious prop in a 3 year olds imaginitive play. Thanks for lasting through it all...you helped me get a lot of stuff done.
Sincerely,
A busy mom

Dear Darling Sweet Little Niece K,
You celebrated your second birthday today. We had a lot fun partying with you. You have so much spunk and excitement, you constantly make us smile and we just love you to pieces. Weston & Tave are always thrilled to visit you and I love your hugs and laughs.
We love you,
Your loving aunt, uncle, and cousins

Dear Blankie,
I don't know what I would do without you. My kisses paired with your soft silkiness can calm down Tave in under 1 minute. Every. Single. Time. You have become a favorite of mine because you are his. I have a feeling you'll be needed a lot during these next few months as Tave learns about all the new tricks he can (and sometimes shouldn't) do.
Yours,
A loving mom

Dear Professor,
I understand that my husband is getting his masters degree. This means he is gone a lot. And I'm supposed to be okay with that. Which I am (even though I hate it) It will all be worth it in the end. You did something wonderful tonight. You let class out early. Me and my boys were so happy to see Jeff an entire hour early. You really made our day.
A thousand thank you's
From,
A very grateful wife

Dear Hubby,
You are lying in bed waiting for me to lay my head down next to you. I am so excited to do that. Thank you for being the person who I get to spend forever with. Thank you for loving me and helping me want to be a better person. Becuase of you, because of us, I will get there.
Love,
Your wife

(ps so I'm giving credit where credit is due- I got this 'letter' idea from my friend, Noelle. Her blog is private or I would link you there. But I just had to try it out, you should too, it's so fun to change things up!)
