Gifts 521-535



521.  spring, and its promise of new beginnings

522.  listening to my father lying in bed reading to Sophia

523.  cooking with mom for people we love

524.  the new thing happening at our church, so grateful to be there

525.  March Madness (Go, Cats!)

526.  watching Claire rest her head on Mimi's shoulder

527.  how toddlers love cupcakes

528.  the way Ceci and Sophia play and giggle

529.  European chocolate brought home by my Deutsch schnitzel eater

530.  Grandma Kathy's way of finding just the perfect keepsakes for her grandchildren

531.  the way Joe and Mark talk smack when they compete at ANY game

532.  watching our girls soak up grandparent time

533.  celebrating milestones with those who love us

534.  "The Gift of Nothing" 
(Thanks to Ashley for following our request that people buy "nothing" for Claire's b-day.  Just love this book and its message!)

535.  Vinny and Ann
 If only we could love and live like you do.  The theater, the cooking, the laughs, the homemade gifts.  How lucky are we to have a fourth set of parents to love and be loved by?
