It took me a bit longer than I anticipated to share the birthday card I made
for my eldest son's 23rd birthday. My blogging schedule is a little off and I
only shared his
22nd birthday card
in January (his 23rd birthday was the previous November). I am sharing his
birthday card now, before his next birthday comes around!
Nadav is a big
Arsenal fan. I have
mentioned it many times before. His birthday cards since the age of five have
all somehow featured football, or more specifically, Arsenal.
This year I showed Nadav and his girlfriend, Hila, wearing Arsenal shirts.
They flew to the UK last September to visit our family there and of
course managed to squeeze in a couple of games too! My card is loosely based
on a photo of the two of them taken at the
Emirates Stadium,
where they went to see Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur. The final score was 2-2,
for those of you who are interested!
You can see the stadium in the background, along with a little aeroplane and
a big number 23 to mark Nadav's age. Nadav and Hila were supposed to start
several months of post army travel in October, but the war began and they
both ended up back in the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) instead. The little
plane was to remind Nadav that he would one day get to travel, which I'm
pleased to say happened in the end.
As with all birthdays in our home, there was a homemade cake as well.

Thoughtful birthday card you made. I'm glad he eventually got to travel despite the initial setbacks.
I'm sure the card was perfect for Nadav! Looks like you covered it all. Glad he had a happy birthday and an opportunity to get some traveling in. Good job on the homemade cake too. I'm not so adventurous anymore to bake my own.
