Life's Gifts






I recently put together a couple of gifts and these projects brought me great joy. My sister-in-law Chari turned 30 on February 20th and my older sister Teri turned 40 on February 25th. Big birthdays! What do you gift someone on such a special birthday? Stealing the idea from another variation, I came up with "30 Things we love Chari" and "40 Things we love about Teri." Getting input from family members, they came out quite lovely when framed. It brought tears to my eyes reflecting on the individual phrases and the qualities each of them embodies. Sisters are excellent gifts.
Peter has a sister, Amy. She's his twin! We recently had the chance to go up and visit her family in NH. Here's a picture of the two of them going jogging. I love how Peter has no qualms about wearing my "feminine" looking purple hat bc it was cold outside. We had a wonderful time. I took the girls to see "Big Miracle" in Concord where we devoured an enormous tub of popcorn and extra large sodas. They were fascinated with my car's sunroof (well, not Cope especially). Did I say we had a great time? Family is an excellent gift. Take Sydnie for example. She's pretty much the best gift ever!!!!!
