When Melissa was a little girl, her Neenee and Papaw would send Christmas presents. But, these weren't just to be opened on Christmas day. There were, "Open Now" presents. She looked forward to those presents every year. She loved the homemade Christmas cookies and other fun prizes. The spirit of giving would always fill her heart. Of course, it only made the anticipation of Christmas morning only more real!
So, Grandma Brenda has passed that tradition down to our kids. We all received the Christmas box and opened it up to find several, "Open Now" presents. This was not limited to just the kids. Grandma Brenda knows how much Melissa is still a kid inside. She had big round eyes as big as Michael and Megan's.
Here are the pictures of the kids with their gifts. Notice Megan starring intently at one of the presents. Grandma Brenda sure knows what it takes to get her attention!
And, the wonderful present that Grandma Brenda gave to us was this beautiful ornament. We love getting ornaments to fill our Christmas Tree. Every one of them has a story and we love remembering them every time we put it on the tree. This one will be remembered for having received it while living in Boston and receiving one of the biggest snow storms in years!
