To Marissa

Dear Marissa,

Joel wants you to know that his nose has been vindicated. Sam's Club sent us a letter in the mail announcing that their Member's Mark baby wipes indeed "smell like bunghole". Joel is going back to name brand wipes in little plastic containers.

Theo misses you. It took a fews days before it set in that you are still not here. It is difficult for him to be in your room, so we avoid it. Since you've been gone, he has been very ill. 103.5 degree fevers. He had to give blood again and didn't cry...again. He is better now, but has been clearly depressed that you are gone. Just yesterday he finally perked up and started smiling more and acting like himself. He was naughty and tore down a Christmas tree at Taco Bell.

People have been raving about your beautifully wrapped presents. I didn't forget the tags. Joel has been working on a "craft" for my Christmas gift. This has been unsupervised. I am very curious about it.

I have decided to purchase a heat gun for our home improvement pleasure.

We hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas with your family!

Love,
Us
