Show and Tell

Today is "Show and Tell Friday" hosted by Kelli at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ . I thought it would be fun to join in this week. Here are a few favorites that I received this Christmas. It really is the thought that is put into the gift that makes it special, so while these might not mean much to anyone else, they mean the world to me. From now on whenever I give a gift to someone I want to try to remember to make them feel as special as I did when I opened these on Christmas morning.

This is my Dad's Bible that he preached many sermons from when I was a little girl growing up. My Mom saved it for me all these years and gave it to me this Christmas.

Here I am opening it up. Believe me there were tears......it totally took me by surprise!

Here my sister Jane put together a scrapbook of memories from my family's time spent in Cuba. There were many letters and travel documents in here that I had forgotten even existed. It really is a treasure and I can keep adding things to it that I have accumulated over the years. She also made one for my sister Joan so we can all now really get all the memories together. You an imagine how much fun this is for me to look through.

Now this really isn't even a present.....its just two Pepsi's in new advertising promotional bottles. But my nineteen year old son Christopher saw them and bought them for us to drink on Christmas morning. He just knows how much his Mom loves Pepsi.

...........and yes I can drink Pepsi even in the morning. After all , it was Christmas! Turns out even though he bought me other very nice gifts, I liked these these best. Go figure.
