November Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

   Hi guys! I have had a fun month, and I hope everyone is doing great! My parents took me to Salem Pond. I love walking around and seeing new things, and I love that my mommy and daddy spend so much time with me!

 I love spending time with my friends Leah, Blair and Sage. We get along so well, and I am glad I got to move here! We like to eat snacks, play with toys, and sing together!

 Whenever my family bakes, I like to help. I do such a great job of pouring sugar into empty bowls that my parents can't believe it! They are so proud! I also love eating whatever we bake, which is maybe why I'm so eager to help in the first place.

 In addition to helping my family, I love to bake cookies with Brandon, who I affectionately call "Billo". My favorite thing to do is to sit on the counter by my brothers mixer and "watch". I work on my speech while I do this, yelling my variations of "sugar", "eggs", and "chips" (chocolate) in the most adorable way possible. My second favorite thing to do is to eat the cookies when they are nice and warm!

 My daddy turned 44 this month! He got presents, and I was more than happy to help him open them! I love my dad, and I like to give him hugs and be held by him. My daddy works hard so that I can be warm at night and eat lots of snacks. I am so grateful for him.

 I am the best at shoveling the driveway ever! My brothers don't know what they're doing with their straight lines and order, I bring chaos and art to such a drab job! I love using my Sam-sized shovel to help in any way I can. I especially like shoveling with my grandpa, who I call "gapapa". 

 My brothers taught me how to throw snowballs this month, much to the dismay of my parents. I even hit Brandon in the face! I was the undisputed winner of the snowball fight! But I don't care about that. I just love spending time with my brothers.

 Ah yes, my next victim, the Christmas tree. My parents had to put the ornaments up a little higher than usual so I can't reach them, and my brothers are waiting to put presents under the tree, because I will get them! I love the light and color of the tree, but my parents don't understand that my destruction is because of my adoration for the tree. I can't wait for my third Christmas season!

I have been doing great, and I loved seeing my cousins over the Thanksgiving break, especially Vivian. I can't wait to see you guys soon!

   Love,
       Sam Wade Barnhisel.
