This weekend, our nephew, Christopher, will be turning 18 and I can't believe it! I still see him as the little boy who loved to dress up as Toy Story characters for Halloween. He has grown into such a wonderful young man and we are so proud of him! Move-in day for Eastern Michigan University is right around the corner and we know that he'll excel.
A few years ago, I handed Chris a handmade card for his birthday (as I usually do). He opened it and looked at me funny. It wasn't until later that day that he mentioned the Father's Day card I gave him for his birthday. The WHAT?!?! Apparently, when I grabbed a 'manly card' from my stash, I didn't check to make sure that it was indeed a birthday card. Ever since, I give him randomly themed cards for his birthday. This year, we're going with the Halloween theme!
I know he gets a kick out of the random cards each year. It's just a little something special we share. And who really cares what the card has on it when there's money inside, right? I know I wouldn't!
