unexpected gifts

Don't you love when someone gives you a gift...a gift that was totally unexpected? A gift that was given to you for no other reason than the giver thought you'd like it?

I love gifts like that. I love giving gifts like that.

Since it is the season of giving, I thought I'd share a couple of those gifts that have been given to me recently.

Last month a couple of my friends and I got together for a crafting day. My friend Kellie walked in with this adorable little baby blanket for me. 

Isn't that sweet?? It's very soft, too :)

And on Tuesday I headed to the IMAX to see A Christmas Carol with the kids and my friend Christie & her 2 kiddos. And she walked in and handed me these 2 shirts for my kids for our upcoming Disney trip.

Aren't they great?? I've been wanting to try my hand at applique but just hadn't had the chance yet. Olivia is planning to wear hers on her birthday and Ben will, of course, wear his the day we go to Animal Kingdom.

Thanks again girls :)
