Bling for the Employees

Valentine's began early for us with a visit from the daycare children. Not only did they make Valentines to hand out to each of the residents, they also came and made heart men as an activity. The residents loved watching the kids and telling them how beautiful their "artwork" was and helping them with a cute decoration. The daycare director explained to the residents that they would get to keep the results of today because our retirement community lets the children keep their crafts when we visit them. She is very sweet.

After lunch we used kiss candies and pipe cleaners to make rings for each of the employees. Each got a tag that said "We like you and we're gonna put a ring on you". We used ribbon to attach the tags and each tag was decorated with a sticker.

The day reminded me that thought is worth more than money when it comes to showing love.
