Favorite Christmas Presents
2 Jan
We received so many lovely, thoughtful gifts for Christmas. Here are a few highlights.
My mother covered a cocoa container and filled it with dog treats for Henry.
David’s parents gave him this heating pad that conforms to your shoulders and neck. My favorite part is the timer. You can set the timer so that it will turn off after so many minutes, which allows you to fall asleep while using it without the danger of it overheating and burning you. Heating pads really can do that. I personally know someone who fell asleep with one and had terrible burns. The timer is a great feature!
My sister-in-law made me this adorable apron! It even matches my kitchen.
Brother #2 gave David this awesome coat. David hasn’t been hunting since I’ve known him, but David absolutely loves this coat. It maintains your body temperature. The cold really bothers David’s joints. When you pull the red cord, it makes the coat warmer, and the blue cord pulls open a vent to let air in. Pretty nifty! I had to ask him not to wear it to work. 
Maybe we could spray paint it black?
This was a gift from my mother. It is one of my grandparent’s wedding favors from the 1930′s. The paper has my grandparents’ names and wedding date written in lovely cursive inside. It was such a meaningful gift.
We had a very blessed Christmas. Hope you did, too!

Great presents! how cute that they still have the favor from your grandma’s wedding! before my wedding my godmother gave me a necklace that my mom gave her as a bridesmaid gift for my moms wedding. I love having it. That stuff is so special!
Very cool gifts! I love the O Henry container! And David’s coat is awesome! What’s wrong with camo? (My husband is a HUGE hunter!) Great gifts!
Happy 2010~!
Woo hoo! Looks like you scored big time.
I love that cocoa idea of hiding treats. I’m going to do that today! I have an ugly bag sitting on my fridge.
I pray that God blesses you today to His Awesome Glory!
Blessings to you,
