The Letters

Here is the letter we sent out to our loved ones to participate in this special birthday surprise for our twin daughters 13th birthday.

Dear Family and Friends,

Our twins are turning 13 this summer and entering their teenage years. Soon they will be in high school facing significant changes in their lives. 
We are reaching out to all of you as significant role models/adults in their lives to provide words of wisdom that we will use to create a lasting keepsake for their 13th birthday.

This birthday traditionally is represented as a spiritual time when a young girl transitions into a young woman and your words of wisdom and guidance will be a wonderful blessing into their journey through their teenage years.

We will be in Hawaii for their birthday and this will feel like you are all there with us! 

We've selected a topic for each of you.  Please write what's on your heart about that topic in a letter addressed to the girls.

Letter Topics:
1.  Family
2. Promise maker promise keeper
3. Faith 
4.  Goals & Dreams
5.  Choices 
6.  Friendships and peer pressure
7.  Discernment and Decisions 
8.  Overcoming obstacles
9.  First impressions
10. Trusting God
11.  Learning from your mistakes
12. Standing up for the right thing
13. Truth and honesty

Thank you so much! We look forward to your words of blessing, wisdom and guidance. 
All our love,
Soon to be parents of teenagers
(Again)!
