Dear Hayden,

Tonight you completed your first year of girl scouts through a bridging ceremony. You are no longer a Daisy; now you are a Brownie!

We had such an amazing year in Girl Scouts, Hayden! You earned all 10 daisy petals, had a campfire cookout at our house, made blankets and delivered them to Project Linus to be distributed to children in times of need, toured a fire station, spent a day at girl scout camp in Payson, sold 195 boxes of cookies, hiked and went to a father/daughter dance with your dad, packed a whole bunch of meals for Feed My Starving Children, and had more silly fun than I can possible note here!

You’ve grown so much through Girl Scouts this year, too, Hayden. The most significant thing that I saw this year was the way your troop really embraced the “sister to every Girl Scout” aspect of being a Girl Scout. The eight girls in your troop are so close.

I am looking forward to whatever Girl Scouts brings our way in the future. It’s been such an amazing experience!

Love you,
Mama

Dear H, O and B,

We had a wonderful Easter! We went to an egg hunt the day before and got to touch base with the Easter Bunny. We went to church and spent the whole day playing new games, eating and spending time as a family. It was a really, really good time.

Love you,
Mama
