A Handwritten Note.

Saturday was Kingston's cousin Mia's birthday.  She turned four, just like him... which he pointed out the entire day.  So of course we got her a little something for her special day, and as in tradition around these parts these days, Kingston helped create a special birthday card for the birthday girl.  I was especially proud of his work this time, however.  Check out "Mia" and "Kingston"... both written without having to trace letters.  Yep, pretty proud of my little four year old.

Homemade Valentine's Day Cards

I mean, what grandparent doesn't love a handmade card from their grandchild?  Kingston was pretty pumped to give this arts and crafts project a whirl for his Nana & Papa and Mimi & Papa.  He is certain their Valentine's Day will be that much more special with these cards he (with a little of my help) made for them.

"Nana & Papa, I love you... THIS MUCH!"   Love, Kingston
"Mimi & Papa, I love you... THIS MUCH!"   Love, Kingston

We traced his hands to make the front and backsides of each card.  After I helped cut them out for him, Kingston made sure to color each hand how he thought they would like to see them... in pinks and reds.  Then, we glued a strip of red construction paper in between each hand, completing each card off with a little washi tape to give them a more finished look.

He is pretty proud of how they turned out and I cannot wait to see him hand them off to his grandparents.  One of the reasons why Valentine's Day can be so special right here, friends.
