It has been a Jerome family tradition to have a treasure hunt for the kids on Valentine's day. In the past, I have made cookies or treats that they have to find. This year, however, with both Evan and Ann-Marie lugging home grocery bags of treats from school parties, I decided on cheap gifts that they would find. They had to follow the heart clues (which Evan can now read to the other two by himself) to get to the gifts. As you can see, there was a little drama with the toddler that didn't quite understand the concept and had just gotten up from his nap.
The pouting.....
The realization.....
And the excitement.....
We followed this up by having tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches in the shape of hearts. Now Alec keeps checking the stove for more gifts....what fun!

Oh fabulous! My kids love scavenger hunts too...although I don't know if the stove was a good place to end the hunt at! Ha ha! What a fun Mom!
