Birthday Cards!

So my brother and his family moved to the San Fransisco bay area back in August of last year. This is the first time anyone in my family has moved so far away. It has been really strange having them gone. I miss seeing them and their 7 kids, and going to their Birthday parties. You see, my nephews are more like my little brothers. The oldest was born when I was 11 and to me that was Heavenly Fathers way of giving me the little brother I always wanted. I hold a very special place in my heart for these little boys (now pre-teen). I miss them so much, and I miss seeing my older brother. Our family things seem so different. It seems like we are missing someone all the time.

Since November, 5 out of the 7 kids have had Birthdays that we missed. So in November I had this brilliant idea of making them cards and loading them full of cash (from me and my sisters)...However because I am the biggest procrastinator EVER I didn't do them until now. I spent all day yesterday working on them, something like 10 hours, but it made me feel not so far from them. Kory also joined the fun and made something just for me. It probably was the funnest Saturday I have had in a long time. Let me know what you think!
