I want my kids to understand GRATITUDE!
I have tried to teach my kids proper etiquette for receiving gifts....
1. Open Present
2. Acknowledge the gift
3. Give Sincere Appreciation to the person who gave the gift
4. Show the gift to all in the room...if appropriate pass the gift around.
5.Then go to the next gift!
I also wanted them to put effort into saying Thank you!
We live far from all friends and family...and so our Thanks was going to be mailed!
The kids made each card....drew...colored....and then each one wrote a note to the Giver !!!!
It took hours of work to finish...but in the end they were so proud of their efforts!

I got one off those lovelies in the mail today. Love the card! Your family is awesome. You're doing a wonderful mama job. Love you guys!
LOVE these cards! Great job teaching gratitude!
These are so great! You are doing an amazing job as a Mom!
Great cards!
Oh these are beautiful.. puts our quickly scribbled cards to shame. I'm so glad to have an "old fashioned friend" who still requires thank you notes. YOur kids DO have the spirit of gratitude... they are like their mommy that way!
WE love our card! It's like a GIFT all its own!
