Thanks for a TOUGH year! We knew that you would be difficult, but didn't know that you would be so LONG. You have been difficult for us as a family and hope that all of our hard work and commitment will pay off with your younger brother 2011. We do really appreciate the joy we have had with seeing Reina grow and advance. She has been such a blessing! We can't believe how wonderful, smart, funny, silly, quick, witty, determined, entertaining, and pretty she is. She could be labeled "Miss Personality" as she DOES have a bucket of it and continues to spill over with more. We have been blessed to have a wonderful family who has helped us with our difficult situation of being apart from each other 5 days out of the week; a roof over our head and the BEST learning center with her Mummi (my mom's childcare center). And also for my job. I do love it and don't want to give it up, but will gladly do it if we can be together as a family. Our fingers are crossed and our prayers are going out daily for a better 2011. We have grown this last year and are ready for a little TLC. So PLEASE tell your brother 2011 to give us a break!
Thanks again,
Paul, Aliisa & Reina
P.S. I know this letter may sound a little harsh, but we are more blessed than ever to have this sweet little girl. She is the best Christmas gift we have ever received, so thank you (even though we got her from your older brother 2009) :)

Reina is soooooo pretty!!!!!! I sure wish her and her cousins could play:) We had times of severe struggle as we started our family and I hated to complain because we were so blessed at the same time. It doesn't make it better, but it really does make you stronger!
She really is BEAUTIFUL!! What a great picture. I hope 2011 is good for you, too. I will keep your little family in my prayers. Maybe someday we can get together. Hard to believe Reina is TWO soon! Happy Birthday Reina!!
