Merry Christmas Emmi,

I loved having the chance to watch you and your family celebrate around your tree this morning. Enjoy the rest of your holidays and I'll see you next year.

Dear Emmi,
I betcha you are excited the Santa brought your presents a day early so that you could celebrate with your whole family. It's also exciting because I get to watch you open your presents. So I found the best spot in the house.

Dear Emmi
I love your Christmas tree. I can't believe that you and your family went out in -35 degree weather to cut it down.  It might be a little sparse in places but you kept your tradition alive, even in the cold, brrrrrrr!!!!

Dear Emmi, 
I was so much fun watching you play with your Nana, Papa, Auntie Becca, Auntie Olie and Uncle Kory that I completely lost track of time. Before I realised it, it was way too late to fly back to the North Pole, so I figured I'd stick around and do more art.

Hey Emmi, 
I say all the great artwork you did and thought I would try my hand at painting too. I wanted to make handprints but I was afraid if getting my mitts dirty.

Hi Emmi,  
When I went back to the North Pole tonight I ran into Santa so I told him you wanted a Barbie Dreamhouse this year for Christmas. He wrote you a letter and wanted me to deliver it to you.

I saw your Daddy and his friends playing pool and it looked like lots of fun, so I thought I'd try it out.

I ate way too many candies at the North Pole last night and I was worried about getting cavities. So I hope you don't mind, but I borrowed your toothbrush and toothpaste.

Emmi,
 I heard you were having bad dreams last night. I was pretty sure your mommy opening the blinds to let the magic from the Christmas lights in would help, but I decided to keep watch on your bookshelf just in case.

I hope you had a great birthday Emmi. It must have been pretty exciting to have a sleepover with Aliah. I'm didn't get my picture taken this morning, so you'll have to look for me on your own. I'll give you a hint though, I got here right on time.

Dear Emmi,
I was trying to climb up into the pretty garland to hang out for the day, but I couldn't make it all the way up. I guess I need to get in some more exercise.

Hi Emmi,
I was feeling a little crafty last night, so I dug out your scissors and some paper and got my craft on...

Emmi, 
I love the new colour you chose for your bathroom. It's a mix of you favourite colours purple and pink. I thought I'd add my own special touch to the decor though....

After my long trip back from the North Pole I was getting pretty thirsty, so I grabbed a yummy drink...


Love John.

I thought making a snowman would be a lots if fun, but when I got here this morning it was -42 with the windchill, brrrrrrr!!! So I figured I'd build one I. A different way...


Love John

I went for a little swing this morning Emmi. I watched you do it from my computer at the North Pole this Summer and it looked like so much fun, that I decided to give it a try...

I thought I'd get a quick game of Candyland in with a couple of my friends before you woke up this morning. 


It was super fun!

Well I was waiting for you to get up this morning, I thought I would practice some sight words.
Maybe you can read them to me when you get a chance.

Phew!!!! We made it home. What a long drive!  Although it was fun playing Heads Up in the car, I'm glad to be back in Fort McMurray.  I'll give you a hint to where I hid this morning, it's right above where you like to warm up after a cold day!!
Love John

Emmi, I finally found you!  I flew all the way to Fort McMurray to come visit you, but you weren't there. So, I had to call the North Pole so they could locate you on the map. They finally found you at your Auntie Becca's in Edmonton!  I had to fly really fast to get there, cause it was getting close to morning, but I made it just in time. I figured I'd wait for you in your car, since I'm pretty pooped, and that way I could hitch a ride back North with you.



Anyway, I can't wait to hang out with you until Christmas, I really missed you while I was at the North Pole!  Have a safe drive home!

Love John
