Cards for Papa

After the birthday dinner, the grands proudly came around to watch Papa
open the cards they had each prepared without families talking about it.
I can imagine the quiet moments in those houselholds as everyone was busy "creating".

From the youngest to the oldest ...
well the very youngest brought herself.

Evy had him admire her "card" but the picture that caught my atteniton was this one!

Teddy could hardly wait to see Papa's reaction.
She and Lacey had dipped into their piggy banks
and made little pockets with money in their cards.

In my distraction about them giving up something special
 I did not get a picture of Lacey, but I can still imagine her smile
when Papa told her he could get two coffees with that money!
I think he'll be taking them for their own drinks.

Koey  worked hard

as he used his Kindergarten skills to write his own words!

Landon drew  a man and a boy playing ball.

Something Papa usually takes time for.

Makenna 

added a few layers of loving expressions 

and shared her excitement for a game she is looking forward to.

Nat also used her best art skills 

with glued in insets of her fun expressions

and a relaxing scene with a palm tree.

Paet used some fancy pop up artwork on his card.

and Tehya did some beautiful lettering on hers!

 

Each card - a token of  loving, detailed time spent

to show their papa that he is special!

And that he is!
