They say it's better to give than to receive, but I think it's pretty darn nice to get something made with love by the hands of someone else. We got a few things along those lines this year.
The boys, below, in their Grammie Jammies, a version of which my mom has sent every Christmas since they were small enough to fit into (and tolerate) drawstring nightgowns:
My feet,
and C's, in new slippers knitted by my mom.
And a new ornament,
and some cars,
all made by my dad.
It's fun having crafty people in the family.
I agree. There's nothing like a new pair of homemade pajamas on Christmas Eve, and thankfully my mom has carried on the tradition with my children!
