Ellie's Letter

When we heard that if you send a birth announcement to the White House, you just may get a reply from the President himself, Ellie couldn't contain her excitement and begged us to send a letter. Happily, we obliged, but forewarned her that it might take a while until she gets a response; worse yet, she might not get a response at all.

We gathered her birth announcement and wrote a nice note...
Ellie licked the envelope...

And mailed it off!
And then, we waited. Ellie checked the mailbox daily for a reply. She had just about given up hope when...

We opened the mailbox...

And saw a letter! What joy!

Addressed to Miss Eleanor Carolyn Lacy, from Washington DC. She clutched it tight, and...

Opened it up!
Thanks Mr and Mrs Obama!
