We are terrible about gifts for grandparents. So this year we decided to do something a little bit different. It was Grandpa's birthday and so Amelie and I talked about all the reasons she loves her Grandpa. She really only came up with one on her own but when I asked her questions she would answer yes and so we would write those down. "I Love Grandpa Because...." Then Ben wrote 5 things he loved about his dad and I wrote 5 things I loved about his dad too. We then put them all in the mail to his wife - Ben's mom. Once she got the package she hid the hearts all over the house for him to find. Each time he found one he was reminded of just how much we love him.
Once she hides them all, she'll give him an envelope with a card wishing him happy birthday and explaining what's happening. It's a fun way to remind the grandparents why we love them while wishing them a Happy Birthday when you can't be there to celebrate with them in person!
