If she is still actively in an affair, I would give her something SMALL from the kids, and NOTHING from you. Or maybe just a Shoebox greeting card from you.
A nice cross necklace from the kids. I will get her a card from them and one from me. Maybe the kind that I can write something myself. Nothing mushy or romantic. Just showing my appreciation to her for being a good mother to the kids.
Even though she keeps wanting to break up the family and break thier little hearts and....

I just came back from getting something to give from the kids. The cards from me and them would be good. I like the idea of giving a cross. Wish I had read this before I left.
I was planning on inviting her to a neighborhood church tomorrow morning (not the one we regularly go to – people there know; she stopped going as soon as she was asked to step down as one of the Sunday School teachers). Then off to a fancy restaurant in the city. I'm scrapping that now. I'll just invite her to church.
I also just got back from also bringing flowers. Gonna have it all on the table for when they all get home tomorrow(WW and our D's are out of town visiting her father).
I posted what my card says on my thread. It was what I was thinking of writing.
