Nothing makes a kid happier (or sadder) than a new balloon. All Emerson wanted for Valentine's Day was a helium balloon. Which was all well and good until the next day when it popped and the tears rolled down her face. But don't worry, she now has 2 "pictures" of Rapunzel on her wall!
Also a good recommendation for any family with kids is a sleepover. Look how happy these kids are! Now granted, we did not let them actually sleep like this, but it was pretty funny that they thought they could!
This has also been a big hit at our house. We got the kids a new Bible for Christmas. It has very short stories, lots of pictures, and questions for them to think about with each story. It has very kid friendly language and even some "obscure" stories that I didn't remember. We've read through the whole book once already. If only I was as dedicated to finishing my Bible and rereading it like the kids (especially Emerson).
