How we told our parents

I'm crafty.  I love to make pretty things.  Even if it means someone will open it up and then throw it away a few short hours later.  It's all in the presentation.  When we thought it would take 2 weeks to get approved, I figured we could tell our parents on Valentine's Day and so I started making these super cute little boxes.  I found stickers that said, "Expecting...a baby from Ethiopia."  They have a picture of a folded, red construction paper heart so it gave me the idea to fill the boxes with folded, red construction paper hearts.  We wrote them a note on cards who were handmade by some other people who are trying to fund their adoption from Ethiopia. 

We went ahead and told them today at lunch.  I gave the moms the boxes and told them it was their early Valentine's gift.  I plan on sending my dad's tomorrow or Tuesday. 

Here are a few pictures...
