Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

This year, since Brenna's creative imagination is soaring, we decided to make Daddy's birthday card, instead of buying one.  The process involved one blank card, one blank envelope, crayons, stamps, and stickers.  The original idea was a rainbow card.  Rainbows are on Brenna's top ten list right now.  We got alittle off topic once the crayon hit the paper, but she had a great time anyway.

Here's the front of the card.  Brenna drew a picture of Daddy, Mama, and Brenna along with a couple of rainbows and rainbow stickers.

Here's the inside.  Happy Birthday Daddy, Love Brenna.  Brenna wanted to the draw a heart for love and then add sprinkles to it.

I told her she could draw whatever she wanted on the back, so she drew her shapes.  Triangle, square, rectangle, diamond, circle, and oval.  She always like to color in her circles and ovals.  She added an I "Heart" U at the bottom for good measure. You can also see the heart stamps she added to the inside of the envelope.  One side of the envelop was a raindow, while the other side said I "heart" U and was decorated with LOVE stamps and heart stickers.

Then, there was nothing left to do except seal the envelope!  After that she asked if we could go put it in the mail box.  She's loves getting mail.  When I explained that since Daddy lives with us we could just give it to him when he got home, then she thought it was necessary to hide the card so it would be a surprise.  I can't wait to see the game of hide-and-seek its gonna take for Jacob to find it.


All this to say Happy Birthday to a wonderful Husband and Father.  We love you Jacob!

And Happy Birthday to Uncle Jason too!
