Special Gift

Grandma Jan called and said she wanted to stop by and see us. She has just bought a new car and wanted to show it off.   Well, she brought a surprise for Shannon as well.  Her birthday is on Saturday and grandma had prepared a special gift. 

She had saved Todd's rocking chair from when he was child. She fixed it all up, painted it, and made a seat cushion from the same sheets that match Shannon's bedding. It was the cutest thing with green bows at the corners. Todd recognized it right away. I think he enjoyed it more than Shannon did!



When grandma had arrived she was running late because it took so long to get the new car so Shannon was already past her bedtime.  At first she did not take to the chair at all. As you can she she was crabby and wanted nothing to do with it. The next day however she was much more interested and willing to sit while daddy shared a story. 


Thank you Grandma Jan!
