Birthday Haikus

My family has the strange but nice tradition of writing haikus on birthdays.  So on your birthday, you get several haikus written about yourself, which is pretty fun!  I though I'd share the ones Violet got yesterday!  Here they are: 

We'll see her Friday!
Violet, our first grandchild
She is beautiful!
From Grandma

It's cool to be one.
Vi is walking everywhere-
and gets to eat cake!
From Annie

Vivacious Violet (pronounced Vi-let)
Always grooves alone.
From Kenny

What? Violet's (again, Vi-let) birthday
already? She has learned much
in one year of life.
From Grandpa

You can't read this yet,
but someday when you read it,
you'll know I love you!
From Courtney

You like to read books
And you like to growl a lot.
Such a silly girl!
From Mom

Violet is sweet.
She is obsessed with books
Just like her mama.
From Dad

My birthday is in two days, and I can't wait for my haikus!

  3. "She likes to groove alone" is a super awesome line. Also, here is Judson's haiku that he forgot to send on time:

    "You are little now
    But as soon as you get big
    I'll teach you parkour."
