We received a wonderful christmas gift from my inlaws in the mail that we were told to open when we got it. We waited until JJ got home and he and our daughters opened it.
I really wish I had recorded it because Rebekah’s excitement was priceless. My mother in law made us a Christmas Countdown with 24 little figures that we can hang up each night of December until Christmas Eve. The tree even lights up!
I just can’t imagine how many hours it took my mother in law to make this and she did such an amazing job on it. This is definitely something that we will always treasure and pass down to our children.
Handmade is always so much more meaningful than store bought. I am making Sariah’s and Bekah’s Christmas gifts this year but I think for next year I will make other family members gifts as well – I’ll have to start in January! I would like to learn how to make beautiful items like Couture Jewelry and toys that children will enjoy. I actually think that taking craft classes with JJ would be a fun date activity!
