TJ's First Card

Amy was getting Aiden's (her boyfriend) Birthday gift together the other night and TJ wanted to give Aiden something as well. 

So, we found a new Hot Wheels car that TJ could give to Aiden.

Amy helped TJ wrap the gift and put it into a gift bag.

Then TJ said: "I need to make a card!"

So, here is TJ's first card. I helped him write out the names, but otherwise he did it all by himself.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!
