Thank You Notes

Ally finally finished her Birthday thank you notes a week before Christmas. That is still within a month of the gifts so we think that is pretty good. We had a first wave go out on actual thank you note cards the week after her birthday. We wrote out something like “Dear ___ thank you for the coloring book and crayons. Love, Ally” but this was a lot of words and it was getting torturous for all of us. So I got out some oversized notecards and let her draw a picture on each one on one side and then all we required she print was Thank you Love Ally.

Personally I like the 2nd wave of notes  these better – the pictures she drew were so creative, even the rainbow stripes – so time consuming and each one was different. And she had fun. Best of all was at the end she could write the card words all by herself without the copy, she had memorized it!
