Hand Made Gifts

This year, the kids and I "made" many of the gifts.  We made their sister, Allison, a bracelet, necklace, and photo ornaments.

They also helped me pick out goodies for gift baskets, made gifts for friends, and  painted magnets for Aunt Sissy and Uncle Danny.

The very BEST thing the kids made, was a very special gift for Aunt Sissy....a gift that will give ALL YEAR!  They decorated a big jar, then filled it with 52 little memories, writings, poems, pictures, or whatever they thought would be special to Aunt Sissy...they folded them up and filled the jar so that Aunt Sissy could open one gift each and every week for the entire year!  Some of these notes were sweet, special memories, or just silly jokes...I hope she loves it as much as we loved creating it!
