nana started the ball rolling. she was the initiator to all of the home-made birthday greetings received.
she would purposely find time to prepare, which most of time begins from her free period in the student care, and continues at home. always checking her back as she draws, to prevent any peeking from the birthday gal/guy. so, even when she misspelt, there is no one to tell her so 
i must thank the hubster for capturing these cards i received from my girls.
iqah drew all five of us walking on a bridge. notice the details – dina in her stroller. . . . that sour-faced fish and the evil laughing shark! arrgh
nana drew me a scene out of the recently watched lion king musical. see all those animals? now, cast your eyes on the top of the cliff, and you’ll see that its actually drawings of young simba along with scar and the two hyenas. what an effort!
she revealed yesterday that she has already begun with the card for atiqah’s upcoming birthday. and she’s going to color it tonight, but nobody may see it yet.
atiqah then announced that she is expecting one from both ayah & mommy too.
the idea is to keep it simple and it has to be strictly a do-it-yourself creation. i like! this may be a start to yet another one of our own family tradition
