gifts

molly is very lucky in that she has wonderful, talented, adoring friends and family who make her beautiful gifts. i've been meaning for some time to do a post about these lovely gifties and when we had our friend Scott take some pictures of Molly with three of the beautiful quilts she's been made, i figured it's the perfect time! in the picture at the top of molly and i, molly is donning a beautiful knitted cap that her friend Emily-Jane made for her when she was first born. she also has a matching sweater and booties, alas only the hat fits her still, and just barely, but we love it.

my mom of course has been a Grandma sewing machine! she made molly her her first blanket (this wonderful soft green comfy-cozy blanket), the diaper holder in her room, burpy towels, curtains, bath towels, and so much more i could go on forever. most recently molly got a fuzzy, terry robe and new pjs which are featured in the slideshow below.


i mentioned at the start the quilts. molly has been given some of the most beautiful quilts you have ever seen! the slideshow below shows them a bit, the first two are of her with the quilt her Grandma Mike made for her (molly is in a blue shirt for those two), followed by a couple with the quilt that her friends David, Jerry and Jack gave to her right after she was born (one is of her feet), and finally a couple shots of the quilt her friend Arden made for her 1st birthday! in the first shot with Arden's quilt you'll see she looks a little sad, she had just bumped her head and went over to her quilt and got some comfort by laying right down on it, it was too cute!


because we started with Emily-Jane we are going to end with Emily-Jane, a beautiful woman with a huge heart and amazing talents. below you will see one of the most precious of molly's gifts, a hand-knitted christmas stocking. Emily-Jane has been working on it for a while now and presented it to me last week. i was almost brought to tears. it's the perfect stocking! it has her name on it and beautiful snowflakes, the colors are so rich, it's super soft to the touch, and roomy enough for lots of goodies! this is a gift that will last a lifetime. and as you can see, molly loves it too!to all of molly's friends, you are wonderful, amazing people and we love you all very much!
