One Of My Favorite Gifts

I have a wonderful sister who listened to my inner desires for Christmas this year.  I grew up in a family of 6 girls, and now every year we rotate families to give to.  I was lucky enough to give to the same sister that gave to me this year.  She by far out did me.  She called a couple of months ago to ask for some suggestions.  I was right in the middle of Nutcracker and was not thinking about Christmas at all.  So I didn't have any real concrete ideas to tell her.  I did mention one thing that I continually put on the back burner because of the price of (not so silly) flowers.  Ever since I redid my bedroom, I have wanted to put some simple white flowers in the wash basin that we inherited from Gregg's Uncle Bevan, but every time I go to buy them, I walk out of the store without them.  $6.00 a flower just seemed too extravagant. 

Alison gave me the flowers for Christmas.  Isn't she wonderful.  I do so love her.  It kind of over shadows the toaster I gave to her.
