Ahh, Valentine's Day. My kids have been looking forward to a Valentine's day party with their friends since we picked up a bunch of candy cane's for 10 cents a package to make valentine hearts for their friends.
It was my turn to lead history group, so I ditched the history and focused on a party!!
I really wanted to do something a bit out of the ordinary--service!! I planned a party where we would give service to someone else!
We played 'conversation hearts bingo' and then, for the service part, we created decorative hearts of paper to plaster all over the door of two people in our ward who we thought could use a friendly "Hi, we're thinking of you."
Our first stop was Pres. and Sister Samples, and then we headed down the hill toward Rick and Sue Zander's home.
Christine Brame posted this about our heart attack service on our JVAC Facebook site:
I just got the nicest phone call from Sue Zander. She thanks us all for the "Heart Attack" She said it was just what she needed. Rick is in the hospital overnight as they have adjusted one of his meds. He will be back tomorrow. Sue said she got home in time to leave again for lunch and just got home 15 minutes ago (6:30 pm) and found the "Love Team" had been at her house. Sue said it was just what she needed today. "You must have been inspired." She said to thank all the kids. I told her it was Vicki's idea and that the kids had a great time doing it.

We had plenty of hearts left over so, a few of us also walked down the street to Kathy's aunt who is struggling with cancer to heart attack her door too. I'm so glad that our gift brought her such joy.
