When we were out to dinner tonight, the girls were playing a few games of Tic-Tac-Toe. This has become a source of entertainment for them in any restaurant when they are not attached to their iPods & iPads. They enjoy playing each other and I love watching their little minds work as they try to beat each other.
While they were playing tonight, I was reminded of every single card I received from my grandma & grandpa since I was born. Every signature had the same thing, “Love, Grandma & Grandpa” along with 2 x’s and 2 o’s (in any random order). These little signs of love mean the world to me! I even remember having to explain to my girls that the x’s and o’s meant Hugs & Kisses. Now every time the girls receive a card from my grandparents, it is signed with the same 2 x’s and 2 o’s and when the girls read the card they say, “Love GiGi and Grandpa. Hugs & kisses!”
Sometimes even the littlest signs of love are all you need! XO XO
Just a note about family 
Very sweet!! I have always believed in the power of X’s and O’s. What a lovely reminder:-)
I love how a simple game of tic-tac-toe can bring back so many loving memories!
I love that the game triggered those thoughts. i think they will remember it too, whenever they play tic tac toe.
It’s wonderful when something current triggers a special memory. I wonder if you will carry on the tradition. My guess is yes.
