Dear Cousin Kaitlyn,

Thank you so much for the dress you gave me for Christmas.  I love it.  I don’t love it exactly like I love Cousin Ezra’s dress but perhaps you should be grateful for that.  Yesterday, I wore it for the whole day and got lots of compliments on it!  Mama’s even going to hang it up again without having to wash it!  Maybe I don’t puke on this dress because you were so nice to me at Christmas!  (Of course, I don’t mean to say that Ezra was mean to me at Christmas.  He wasn’t.  But he loved telling me where to puke.  So maybe I just took his advice and that’s why I like to puke on his dress.)

Love,
Cousin Eliana
