birthday frezent idea

many of you know by now that presents are really "frezents"
and have made the necessary adjustment to your vocabulary.
thanks for that.
ned & i went to a friend's 5th birthday party on saturday.
his name is Z, so naturally, we made him a Z card:
 
on the inside, ned drew two faces:
one sad face with a red X across it, and one happy face.
i will translate for you:
"don't be sad; be happy because it's your birthday!"
now for Z's frezent, we made a trip to our local hardware store.
here is what we put together:
yes, those are zip-ties.
and a set of mis-cut keys.
and a putty knife.
and a piece of sandpaper.
☼ happy birthday to Z! ☼

So sweet...I love all that Ned chose. I let Lucy choose my niece's birthday frezent this weekend and she chose...5 bottles of nail polish (royal blue, orange, sparkle pink, metallic mauve, and fucshia), a nail file, nail decals, and a bag of candy....all from her FAVORITE store, Walgreens!!

Catie, Z truly loves his frezent! He carries his keys around w/ him regularly, uses them to unlock all sorts of doors & adventures! The zip ties are his beloved treasure, he hasnt fully decided what he will use them for but I have an array of ideas. :) There is a sense of pride he has w/ this gift!! Truly wonderful!! Thank you Ned & Catie for coming to Z's celebration!
