letters of love

since we had so much fun with our advent activities, i thought we'd do a mini-version to countdown until valentine's day. i got these adorable little mailboxes at the always fabulous target $1 spot.  glued a $1.50 candle stick to the bottom, and voila... individual mailboxes for each of us.  aren't they so cute...i just had to share!

the kids are already having fun leaving special love letters, or treats for each other and us.  how exciting to see the little red flag up signaling the arrival of something special just for you!  beginning february 1st, i'm going to leave a little letter of love activity in their box each day. special little ways to show and share some extra love.
