My weekend as been busy already with a few days left until Christmas. Today I started off my day at Mimi's having bruch with a dear friend of mine, and cousin through marriage- Gretchen. We normally get to see each other during Christmas but since I am going to Missouri this year, we decided to meet to catch up before Christmas. It was nice to sit and chat. She brought the kids, Jaycee and Jayden, and they were precious as always!
Then tonight I went to my Christmas exchange with my sister in law's sister Crystal, who I am also very close to! We do it every year and somehow we always end up at Johnny Carino's for dinner. It was delish! Before dinner we exchanged gifts, and for the first year it was different ...VERY touching. My sister in law decided to start buying us each a figurine out of the "Willow Tree" collection. It's a very special hand carved piece and it's expressions are revealed only through a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, or a turn of the body. She gave me one called "Cherish, Awaiting a Miracle." We each got a special one but mine touched my soul. Tiff cried as she explained the meaning behind each one. I wanted to share one of the most precious gifts that I have ever received. It was from her heart and so meaninful and will be put in the babies room when he/she is born.
Sunday we are spending the evening with grandma and papa. I can't wait to take them dinner and share a little gift with them! They mean alot to me and Chad.
Until Christmas.... I love you all!
