Gifts
The thing I like most about gift-giving is the uniqueness in all the personalities and interests…
from the choice of wrapping paper…
retro wrapping
to the gifts that were on the wish lists…
vintage (taken by my sister)
never old
to the complete surprises that were sure to be a hit…
budding ballerina
boat builder
boy+train=total absorption
It even shows up in the way gifts are opened (how did he know he was getting dumbbells?!):
no fair shaking presents!
Friends & family, old & new…
husband's brother
sister's best friend
expecting him or her
If I could take a picture, long-distance, of my other sister & her family, or of my husband’s family, I would. We missed you all very much!
Love the pictures! We didn’t know Annie is expecting..how exciting! Keep the posts coming; love keeping up with you guys this way! By the way I typed “yall” instead of “you guys” first, then remembered this one of the few non-southern blogs I read..haha!
I agree, Courtney – It’s lots of fun to keep up with your blog, too! We still appreciate the “y’all” sentiment this far north! 🙂
I looked over the blogs I missed and showed the Gerbers your family. You are such a wonderful artist, with a camera and with words. Keep it up. And take pictures of all your kids again so I can show people. Love ya!
