Dear Ezra,

You're one year old today! What a big boy you are! We are so glad you came to your family. They love you so much and you have been a blessing to your parents in ways I'm sure they will explain to you someday.

We don't have much of a history, but I can tell you that Heavenly Father promised you to your mother through the priesthood before she even met your dad. You are named after your paternal grandfather and share that middle name with two cousins, Glenn and Wyatt. Your grandpa Alan is a wonderful man and I hope you will get to know him well in your lifetime. I hope you will always be as happy as you look in this picture! You have a wonderful father and mother and I think you will have a wonderful childhood as they share with you their love for the outdoors, good literature and good food! What more could a boy want?!

I look forward to getting to know you as you grow Ezra and hope we will have some good memories of time together as extended family at reunions and other times we get together. I love that you are part of the Hassell family and that Heavenly Father blessed us with another special spirit.

I love you,

Gramma
