Birthdays on the wall

Last night we were visiting my Dad and his wife, and I noticed this gift her daughter made her for Christmas.

Dennis is a lot cuter in real life. He looks like a mean cop in this picture.

 

I like the way each month has a different kind of ribbon.

Boy birthdays are stars, and girls are hearts.

I thought this was a cute way to visualize birthdays ahead. 

Also, another idea I learned from Susan last night.

I like the creative way she hung this painting....down low right beside the dresser. 

That would be especially nice in a child's room or play room, so they could actually see the pictures on their wall.

I also think it's a different look.

And while I'm at it, let me show you some other things I like about their home office:

Dad's family on one side of the computer, 

and Susan's family on the other.

And if that's not enough, 

they have family all over the office closet.

I think they like all of us.
