I made a table topper for my youngest son and his wife. The reindeer pattern is made from their shoe and both hands. Someone, (I don't remember her name now) had posted a picture of the one she made for her daughter a bit ago. This one is from my youngest son, his wife and their baby daughter. I will have one for my older son and his family but I have to wait until his wife and daughter comes up next week to give me their shoes and hand prints. They don't know why I have asked them for the prints (or outlines I should say) I hope they will like it.

Oh my older son will not be coming up for Christmas. He is leaving Sunday the 12th for Afghanistan and will be there until end of April to the beginning of May. I would appreciate prayers for out troops. Thank you.

These are great and I'll keep your son on our prayer list.

That is a great idea - I love it!!!!

Oh gosh, those are cute!!!

Oh so precious!!!

You should make one of your hands and your husbands and send it with your son!

Those are just darling. What a wonderful idea. Your son is in my thoughts and prayers.

OMG!! That is so adorable!! Please tell your son and his family that I say Thank You. Thanks for going to fight for my freedom thanks to the wife that is going to have to do all of this by herself for a while and thanks to the little girl who will have to go a while without daddy so that I can have the right to safely sit on the computer and chat with her granny about quilting! Thank you and God bless all of you! I will keep all of you in my prayers! Thank you.

Your table topper is adorable.

Wonderful idea! My thoughts and prayers go not only to your son, but to his family as well.

Sweet...blessings to your son and his group. May they all return safe and sound.

His name is David. Thank you so much.

Those are fabulous.

Love your Rein--dears!!!

Cute, cute!!
And prayers go up for your son and his family and for all the guys/gals serving our country. There will be many that won't be with family for this blessed Christmas Season. Just want to say thank you to them and God Be with All.

Think I will make my 2 grandkids a Christmas placemat. They are cousins so they each need their own. Something they use every year at Christmas. Thanks for sharing this cute idea. The grandkids are 8 and 4 so I am sure they would like a placemat like this.

These are adorable.....thank your son for keeping us safe.

Definitely adorable! My hugs and prayers sent to you and your soldier son!

This is what I thought of doing for present and future grandkids. The original post about this the reindeer was put on pillowcases which is a cute thought too except for the buttons.


Thank you again for those who are praying for my son, David and all of our troops. God bless.

what a nice idea
your placemats are delightful
our troops are always in my prayers
God bless

oH cute!!!

My father in law will also be in Afghanistan for Christmas. My husband was there for Christmas '08. It is so hard to be missing loved ones over the holidays. We're celebrating Christmas early this year because my father in law is home on his R&R right now, and is going back before Christmas. My IL's are coming here Saturday to celebrate. Here's an extra {hug} for you for when you're missing your son...I know it doesn't replace a hug from his arms, but I understand how you are feeling.

It's a girl! Adorable.

love it -- so personal and cute

So cute! Bless you.

Very Pretty and will pray for your son.

What a great idea. I love it! And prayers for your son and all our soldiers.

Very sweet.

I'm praying for all our good men and women military, both American and Canadian and all the other country's troops who are trying to end this scurge.

love the rein-Dear. All my prayers everyday go out to the men and women who fight for us and your son will now be included. My nephew just got back.

Adorable, what a great idea. Prayers for your son and all our service men and women.
