We had Christmas Sunday night with my grandparents, Uncle, Aunt and cousin. We laugh because my extended family is about half the size of Steve's immediate family :) Steve and I show up with half the party! My grandparents give us money each year. The last 2 years I have not spent the girls money on gifts. We take them away for a weekend get away. They all agreed that's what they wanted again. After we ate, my grandma had all the kids pick a number and she gave them each a bag. They all opened huge, wonderfully crafted, colorful, handmade quilts. If you don't sew or quilt it's hard to imagine the money, time, patience and love that goes into each and every quilt.
Each piece is so intricately pieced together. The girls were SUPER excited! What a gift!! (as were the adults! We each got one too!!!) I would suggest every year we make each other gifts, but I realize I'm not even a smidge as talented as my grandma and I'd be embarrassed :) She has a gift, and we are so blessed that she shares it with us.
