ivar's birthday cards

Ivar got some fun gifts for his birthday, but the cards really stole the show. Toby and Kirby always draw a comic in their birthday cards. Toby's is spot on. That's how I feel about how fast he's grown! Kirby's comic is four frames. Frame one: Ivar, frame two: people singing Happy Birthday to Ivar, frame three: people confused because Ivar fell asleep, frame four: Ivar happily dreaming of balls.

This card from Sonna makes me smile because you can see the very letter where she made a mistake, got too frustrated and had her mom take over and write the rest of the message. I also love that since she started preschool she includes the letter L for Larson when she writes her name. Not to be mistaken with the other Sonna's in the world, she is Sonna L.

 Claire Helen made this super fun card, and ever time Ivar sees it he waves his hands and says, "ball!"

Penny traced her name and glued pictures of her favorite cold weather gear. :)

Simon made an interactive card and wrote, "Please draw a picture for me of balls!" And provided the ghost encircled frame to draw our picture.

And Ruby wowed us with all of the letters she has learned! It says, Ivar I love you Ruby.

Thanks for the cards cousins! They've all been put safely in Ivar's Special Things box.
