ANYTIME someone gets a balloon, it is automatically assumed that we will be sending it to Heaven!
Such was the case when JinJin stopped by with her humongous bags of Valentine goodies.Good ol' Earl!!
First, as seen above, we write him a note. ANd then, out we go to send it to Heaven.
Because this has been a "regular" deal for Ellie and Maddi, they talk about Jake as if they know him!
We kiss the balloon, then send it to Heaven. Maddi said, "I'm sending this to my brother because I love him."
At this particular moment, my two were, miraculously, taking a nap! Yay for Mary Allison!!
We sent balloons to Jake ourselves the next day!
And there it goes. Alllllll the way to Heaven!
I love how when you watch it long enough, you just can't see it anymore! It really disappears, as if to Heaven!
So if you ever find a balloon around your parts with" To: Jake We LOVE You!" on it, you know from where it came!

Aww...that's so sweet to teach the girls that, and I'm sure Jake enjoys every one! Can JinJin adopt me? She is one cool gift-giver! She must get so much JOY from giving to others....did Earl get something too? Even he looks like he's smiling for the camera..lol
Okay, so I'm crying now. So sweet. Love that the girls have Jake in their hearts.
Snif....That is so sweet! I love that! And I too would like to be adopted by JinJin....and come live in your BAH! Thank you!
Hugs from Missouri,

I've been weepy lately, so as I sit here at work, I'm in tears. This is the sweetest tradition.
