Eli's Valentine's Day Gift for the Grandparents

For Valentine's Day, I wanted Eli to do something very special for his grandparents. I decided to go the homemade route this year and make something I knew they would be able to treasure for years to come. I took pictures of Eli in his heart shaped glasses and created a bookmark using them. Then I painted Eli's hands and he used them to make a handprint heart for the front of the cards. Painting a 15 month old's hands...that was definitely interesting and surprisingly not nearly as messy as I thought it was going to be! Eli was so good! I wrote a cute little poem to go on the inside, laminated to card to help preserve it, and stuck the bookmark inside. It turned out so cute that I made one for Josh and me, too!
