For the past few years, since money has been a little tight, we usually skip gifts for each other and will make or buy something as a gift from the kids. This year I had ordered this Star Wars messenger bag as a present for my husband from the children. Unfortunately, it turned out to be sold out.
Since I didn't have any other ideas on such short notice, I convinced our 5yr old to make a video for his Dad. I am going to post it on my next Silly Monkey Stories, but you can click on this link if you'd like a sneak peak.
In addition to the video, our 5yr old always draws a card or picture for his Dad on behalf of himself and his younger siblings. Next year, they will be old enough to each make their own.![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R7RU35fIWNg/SqxLkPPzWVI/AAAAAAAAK-E/_hOKUJ-V7t8/s400/BirthdayGiftsDrawing.jpeg)
For my birthday, my husband surprised me with this card and gift from him and the kids. The gift was both original and thoughtful because I have been experiencing some major pain in my tooth once every few days. Who needs jewelry when you have Orajel, right?
