Hall-iday highlights

This year our family helped out another family in need, so i explained to my kids that maybe they would not receive as many gifts as Christmas' past,they were so fine and great about it, i have the best kids in the world, they understand way more then i give them credit for about the importance of helping others in need and how good it feels to give to others..but they still had a great Christmas and pretty much still got what they had asked for, so all in all we had a great Christmas, I feel truly blessed.





My incredible sister in law made this quilt out of some of Steve's shirts, she made 9 of them for all of us, needles to say it was by far my favorite present ever received. miss you Steve








Christmas day, Robinson party at my house,it was so great to have my whole family in town,minus Steve whom was on all of our minds most of that night






Yes, my family is large and in charge, i love it




Playing the white elephant game...Robinson tradition

I couldn't help but cry as I read about the quilt - such a labor of love. And the thought of getting a hug from Steve every time you cuddle with it is just so sweet. Truly a treasure forever.
