Or pictures of them as Children or pictures of you and your husband through the years.
Great for you on the GW find!
Like others have said you are not alone in the 'no gifts' department. Millions of others are cutting back for the holidays in the gift giving area but are trying to make up for it with other 'new traditions'.
Someone suggested homemade cookies...good one.
You said you couldn't 'send' presents which makes me think you're far away from family...what about a wonderful card for each person that contains true feelings or wonderful stories about them.
This is just the beginning of the day for your post...I'm sure the smart quilters on this board will come up with lots of 'no cost' 'low cost' things you can do. What age ranges are we talking about for the GKs?
Remember you're not alone.

I still have the 2.00 bill my Grandmother gave me! over 35 years ago...I keep in in my wallet. Every time I see it I remember her. She passed away 30 years ago..brings a smile to my face and I still remember opening it on Christmas morning.
Even Better trace your hand on the cookie dough and cut around and "Bake and frost with "Touched with Love" stack them with wax paper between and wrap firmly in plastic wrap place in a well padded box plastic store bags make good packing and make sure they don't move... Won't the Grandkids be surprised to see Grandma and Grandpa's hands. or your could make one solid cookie.
My Grandma used to give us Grandkids each a $2 dollar bill. and the Adults $5.oo... I still have the outer envelope with my grandma's handwriting... write out a special note to each child, grandchild... its the thought from your Heart that counts..
