Tuesday's List: My Brother Turned 30

Catching up a little here - my list from Tuesday.

So, Tuesday was my brother Matthew's 30th birthday (which means my 30th birthday is less than 27 months away eek). For his birthday, I gave Matthew 30 envelopes (or packages - at least they would have been packages if I had taken the time to wrap them.) labeled 1-30 each with a card inside (and almost always a little gift) with something to do with the number of the envelope and something to do with Matthew's childhood. So today's list is the list of things I gave to Matthew.

The list is what the cards said - I will put in parenthesis what the gift was (if there was one and if it needs further explanation)
