Every morning throughout the month of December I would find several envelopes under our Christmas tree. Every day Grace made gifts for all of us inside these envelopes. Grace would carefully decorate pieces of paper with stickers, stamps, markers, crayons and hole punchers, put them inside of envelopes and place them under our tree. After placing them under the tree Grace would become so excited to share her handmade gifts with her family that she just couldn't wait to give them to us until Christmas! Every day Daddy, Jack and I would be given an envelope with Grace's name on it to open. Each time this happened Grace would always say, "This is for Christmas but I'm just so excited to give it to you that I can't wait until then!" These sweet handmade gifts from Grace were the best gifts of all! They brought us all great joy in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

What love! What a thoughtful, giving heart! Grace has not only given priceless gifts, but she has also retaught us what life and Christmas are all about.
Grace, you are special and you have such great ideas. Your love notes make our hearts sing.
Love you all,
Memere
I have never seen a more compassionate child with such a loving heart. This girl is destined to do something big for our world.
Grace knows the true meaning of Christmas and carries it in her heart every day. I love the picture, Rebecca and thank you for sharing this loving story.
Sweet Love to You,
Mom
ps- We just read the weather forecast for Maine and you have blizzard warnings!! They are talking about HUGE waves at the coast. You-know-who in this house is beyond excited and would love to see those crashing waves!
Oh, yes! I can imagine how excited Dad is. I would be too if I wasn't so close to having a baby!!!!! We have true blizzard warnings in Maine and the roads will be probably be impassible tonight and tomorrow because of complete white outs. Let's just hope that Eve decides not to arrive in the middle of this blizzard and that she waits until January 7th. If you don't see a post from me tonight or tomorrow it means we will have lost electricity -- it's expected because there are high wind warnings too. OH MY! I remember when Jack was born we were without power due to the ice storm for days before he was born. :)
Love,
Rebecca
