Dear Laney,
One of the things I was most excited about for your first Christmas was introducing you to your great-aunt Robyn.
I was named for Robyn and we have a lot of things in common: We have the same toes. Our purses and our cars are always a mess. We both like to hang out at home with our dogs and usually hate to talk on the phone.
But Robyn has some other great qualities that I don't always have - she's patient and helpful and beautiful and almost never says ugly things about people, even when they probably deserve it.
So...if you wanted to take after your great aunt, that'd be super.
Love,
Mom
P.S. If you're going to be photogenic, it's going to have to come from your Dad's side of the family.
Laney, when your mother was a year old she posed with her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother as well. Sorry you didn't get to meet "Nana", your great great grandmother. You would have appreciated her remarks to others about their appearance, taste in friends, etc. She would have loved you and talked about you constantly as you would have been her favorite great great grandchild!
