Happy Birthday Justice...

My baby girl turned 18... Woo Hoo!
What a happy day...
We had a small celebration with just us, and on Saturday, she has her party
She receives one gift on her birthday morning, 
and one when we have her cake.
She prefers to save the rest for party day.
So her birthday gift this morning was an anime dvd she wanted.
Her gift with cake was an Amazon gift card.

I made the gift card holder.
