Love is in the air at the White House Wednesday as Americans woke up to a Valentine's Day display of oversized love letters on the North Lawn -- courtesy of first lady Jill Biden.

This year's Valentine's Day installation features a large wooden red envelope, her office said is painted in her handwriting, with the words, "To America with Love," along with a large pink envelope with the message, "Happy Valentine's Day! XOXO, Jill."

There is also a large wooden pink box with sweethearts overflowing out of it containing heartfelt messages of love, optimism and gratitude, such as "Be Kind," "Choose Love," "We Believe In You," "XOXO," and other messages of love.

This Valentine's Day marks the first lady's fourth year of playing cupid as she continued her tradition of sending what she calls a "Valentine to the Country."

Inside, White House tour attendees can see a display of red, white and pink love letters delicately suspended down the window with pencils. Nearby is a red mailbox.
