My favorite gift was a new boudhran (drum) from my DH. This is a man who rarely buys me a gift at all for any occasion, but this year, he surprised me with this drum I have been wanting for at least 2 years!!! Color me happy!!
I got 2 great quilting books from my DD and from my DS, a special present that also blew me away. He is a wonderful photographer, and had taken a photo of a bird that I loved, and had asked him to blow it up for me like 6 mos. ago. For Christmas, he had this photo blown up and printed on canvas so it looks like a beautiful oil painting. I didn't even know this was possible, it's just wonderful!! This is the DS I am collecting the bird fabrics to use in his quilt!! Now you see why he is worth all the trouble! Smiles. It was a wonderful and special Christmas, spending time with my children, their spouses and my grandchildren. Each made me know I was loved and that they knew they were loved in return. What more can one ask than the love of their family?
