Pull-ups and the Piano

Gavriel and Amitai turned 14. Last year I showed Gavriel playing the piano on his birthday card, while Amitai was into running, biking and swimming in triathlons. A year on and their interests have changed again, primarily because of the coronavirus.
Amitai is a big Tottenham Hotspur supporter, so mum asked if I could show him wearing his new Spurs shirt (Tottenham Hotspur Football Club are commonly referred to as  Spurs), while doing pull-ups for exercise in the park. He also likes playing on his Xbox, so I included that on the card as well. A big number 14 marks his age.
Gavriel still plays the piano. Mum told me that he has an organ at home and that is what he has been practising on. He also likes playing on his iPad and the family cat, Molly, had to appear on Gavriel's card as well.
For years they have had their favourite colours. Amitai likes yellow, so I made that the background colour of his card, while Gavriel favours red. Mum shared these brilliant photos of the boys with their birthday cards on Facebook. They look happy enough with their cards!

I love those handmade cards. They are so original and real. I am not a big card person unless they are handmade. That makes them more personal.

Love it when kids start with one instrument, and then try another! All three of my,now adult kids did that,after having had piano lessons, with success! Great card, Lisa. You, you're first this week:) Jesh
