Easter Gifts

We wanted to put together some small gifts for our neighbors for Easter. Annalina also gave one of these gifts to her super great dentist yesterday. Target provided us with the perfect items all in their $1 isles! The kids and I had a great time shopping and figuring it all out. The green pots were 2 for $1. Each plant was $1 and we put one Zinnia and one Forget-Me-Not in each planter and then used dollar ribbon to tie it all together. They also had BEAUTIFUL note cards for $1 per 10 cards. I printed out a poem and Ross cut it out and then I rubber cemented it onto the cards. The kids are excited to deliver these around Easter time!
Below is the poem I found and liked for the cards.

JESUS LOVES US ALL SO MUCH

Jesus loves us all so much
That He would bleed and die
He took upon His beaten back
The cross that saw Him crucified

Yes He loved us all so much
That He was scorned and scoffed
He took it all upon Himself
For it was the will of God

God knew it was the only way
The final sacrifice
Jesus Christ a sinless man
Would need to give His life

And even in the gift He gave
We still have not yet known
The fullness of His mighty love
And the grace so freely shown

All He asks is that we all
Repent and follow Him
For He has made the way for us
Free from hurt and sin

Yes God loved us all so much
And yes He loves us still
He longs for us to trust in Him
And do the Fathers will

Our zinnias are growing! The kids check every day to see if "Gabriel, Annalina, Ross and Carson's flowers" are growing!
