My most thoughtful gift this year came from my grandchildren ages 2-6 :D:D:D
They all were together at the table and were drawing while we were finishing up preparing dinner. I heard them chattering very quietly amongst themselves... a little later I was presented with "my presents" They had each drawn pictures of themselves and me...holding my hand while walking, sitting in my lap in my rocker, throwing rocks together in the creek, all 6 kids did a beautiful job of depicting a favorite memory of them and their "amma" :D:D:D the best part was that they thought of this and carried it out all on their own :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The best gift I got this year was a beautiful "thank you." I made my best friend a wall hanging which I hand quilted. I really look up to this lady as she can do the most beautiful things with fabric and thread. When she opened it, she cried because she said it was so beautiful.....

My best gift was from my daughter who returned from Iraq in September. I love collecting tea cups and pots, I don't have very many but really like them. Well, while in Bagdhad she found this really beautiful tea set that was actually made in the Chech Republic. Most of the tea sets that were made in Iraq were really gaudy and she thought I would not like them. So she purchased this set with a Tea Pot, creamer, sugar and 6 cups and saucers. She carried it back from Iraq. I cried when I opened it. Part of it was because I am so happy to have her back home safe and sound and partly cause it was so beautiful and thoughtful and probably pretty expensive!!

I had many lovely gifts, but the best one wasn't wrapped. My house is crazy, overflowing with family, food and gifts on Christmas Eve. After we opened presents on Christmas morning, my DH cooked breakfast for the two of us and then did the cleanup as well :) The little thoughtful things like that are the things that keep me in love with him ;)
