Many thanks and Happy Birthday

Dearest Macallum, Mac, The Masher.

You are turning 2,. For 2 wonderful years we have had you in our home. They have been amazing years, you open a world to us that we would not know without you. We love you to pieces. You makes us laugh, make us love, make us crazy and tired. You capture life with both hands and will not let go. I love that about you.

Yesterday we spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, CA with Ruth and your friends Kenny and Cory. You absolutely loved the aquarium, you wanted to stay a lot longer. You also enjoyed the Dennis the Menace Park we played at after the aquarium. Today you spent the day with Daddy and your cousins here in the US - Emily, Sarah and Kevin. You had a great time.

In the evening we had cake and gifts for you. You loved your new puzzles and all the books you got from us and your grandparents. You got lots of fun gifts from your Auntie Joy and NZ Grandma. You are a very loved little boy.

Dear Grandparents I got your book today, as you can see I really love thumbing through the pages and "reading" it. I also like to share it with my friends, Cory and Kenny. They enjoyed my mummy reading it to them. I like books, they help me calm down before bed. Tonight my daddy read me a bed time story. I like it when he does that. Thank you for sending me a cool book. love your grandson The Masher xoxoxox
