a very special present

Hip, Hip Hooray! It's my birthday today!!! This may not look like much but I think it's just about the sweetest birthday present I've ever received. Kierstyn has been working on this "cross-stitch" for me for a couple of weeks now. She somehow thought that it was going to be a surprise but she had me re-thread it a million times as she was working on it. (Of course I still acted surprised.) She was finishing it yesterday after church, all the kids were in my bedroom and Kyler was wanting me to teach him how to sew....so when Kierstyn was finished with her creation she gave it to me and I told Kyler I would teach him how to make a pillow. So Kyler sewed up the sides and put some stuffing in and wah-lah---my very special birthday present made with love by K & K.....I really don't think it gets any better than this. Being a mother has its rewards!

Um... Yes... that is soooo precious! You have taught that girl well! She truly is a mini you (at times)! I remember all the cross stiched gifts I have received from you. But, you were like 15 years older than that. And Kyler- how cute is he to finish up the gift. LOVE IT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Sorry I never called. I love you and hope ya'll are doing well!
