Awesome Otters-Happy Birthday!

Today is my Dad’s birthday and I cannot tell you how special he is and how much he does for our family . So on this special day, I decided to share the card I made for him with you. It is “Otterly Awesome” just like my dad. Funny thing is that I will not be giving him his card until tonight at dinner so if he sees this post before then, the card will not be much of a surprise, but either way, I am glad to celebrate his special day. Happy Birthday Dad!
