Birthdays and holidays are different when you can't celebrate them with family. It's amazing how much you take that time together for granted as a little kid and when you live nearby your loved ones. At least I did. Recently my dad turned 62, but because he's half a country away, we were not able to celebrate in person. When he came to visit earlier this month Josh and I were excited to throw a little belated birthday celebration for him.

And our movie adventures have run the gamut from Band of Brothers, to Twilight, to Up, to The Notebook, to Despicable Me. I miss our Father-Daughter lunch and movie dates so much. image When I was given the opportunity by Walmart to pick out a Hallmark Minion card for a loved one, I laughed at what perfect timing it was. My relationship with my dad is sweet, silly, and fun, just like the Minions! I knew he'd love one of these cards!

I have a feeling Bob is going to become a toy for one of my dad's new kittens... ;) Belated Birthday Celebrations Her Heartland Soul Erin Fairchild In an age where everything is virtual, it means a lot to me to give and receive handwritten cards.

Here's hoping for more celebrations together in person!
