Over the winter holidays I handed each of my brother's kiddos a stack of blank Crayola note cards for them to color. I included self-addressed stamped envelopes and made {what I think is} a sweet deal.
Anytime a card comes back to me the sender will receive a prompt reply via the U.S. Postal Service with a secret something yummy enclosed.
I couldn't wait to start the correspondence. I wondered who would send theirs back first.... Spencer, 11, Grace, 8, or Parker, 4. Grace owns the sweet tooth in that family, so I was sort of banking on her.
Look what just arrived! Hurray for Grace. The card is sitting pretty on our fireplace mantel, but it will eventually go into my saver box of favorite niece/nephew things. Last night I replied, "I miss you soooo much! too," and packed up her special treat for the postman.
