V-Day Preparations

For the last two years, Jax and Jem decided they didn't want to partake in the commericalism of V-Day through swapping store-bought paper cards and exchanging them with people they either didn't know or didn't like. They felt like this mass exchange was very impersonal. You can read more with the link below:

Meaningful Valentine's Day

So, I was surprised with how easily I could talk them into giving this V-Day tradition another chance. (I don't think they have changed their stance on the card-swapping thing, though, but candy and treats played a big part in their change of HEART. hehe)


Jenna thoroughly enjoyed addressing all of her Valentine's cards this year. Even after she completed the 32nd card, she asked if there were more to do!

Jenna was very proud of herself.
Jem decided to make sports related drawings on the "To:" section of his cards.
Jenna helped Jackson by sealing his cards with the heart stickers.
