A Trail of Hearts

My children are 3 and 6 and every year since they were old enough to walk, I've put a trail of hearts (red for Henry and pink for Emma) leading from their bedside to their Valentine's Day gift downstairs. I pick a new "hiding place" for their gifts each year so it makes following the trail more exciting. They can't wait to leap out of bed on Valentine's Day morning and hunt down their present. They each gather up the paper hearts on the floor and we tape them to the patio window for decoration when they've finished opening their presents.
