Dear Auntie Sonia,
greeting
Thank you for the bag you gave me for my birthday. It’s great because it is just the right size for school. Mommy, Daddy, Lila and I went to the beach on my birthday. My friend, Tarik, came too and we had a picnic. We had bananas, chicken, melon and cake. We played with my new football but we didn’t swim. I remember your goats, Jo, Dot, Lucy and Flo. How are they? I can’t wait to see them again when we visit you next month. I look forward to seeing you then.
