Andy and I don't exchange gifts. He says....if I don't have it, I can't afford it! I guess that is kind of a true statement but this year I got the best gift I could have ever asked for. My Aunt Stacey is so good to my family. She is my aunt from my dad's family and doesn't seem to ever forget us for holidays/birthdays. It really does mean a lot to me since I don't have a lot of contact with my dad's family. This year she sent us a package. When we opened it I found a Longaberger basket that was my Grandmas! I have it sitting on a side table in my family room where I can see it all day long and every time I do, I think of my sweet Grandma that did so much for me when I was growing up! Then Drew opened up his gift and in the box was a jacket. It looked like one I had seen before but I wasn't sure. It was too big for him when he tried it on and then I read the card. It was a jacket of my dads! Oh how I will treasure this jacket. Drew loves it but I quickly took it from him so it doesn't get ruined. Aunt Stacey said it was special to her because of how much he loved my dad and loved it on him! When my dad passed away I didn't get much to remember him by so I will treasure it hanging in my closet! This is a gift that has no value to many others but to me is priceless!
