Given and Recived

LISA The greatest gift I ever received was jewelry passed down from loved ones no longer with us. I wear it on special days when I need their strength to get me through the day.

Sending our kids to Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott was the best gift we ever gave. It allowed them to make their own decisions and focus on friendships away from the material world. Honestly, it was also a gift to us (Mom & Dad).to have some time to ourselves!

MATT My most memorable gift received was from my younger sister at Christmas. Our ongoing family tradition is gathering playful, quirky and funny, yet pointless, gifts throughout the year to exchange at the holidays. The time and effort invested throughout the year never fails to bring laughter and happiness to our entire family!

I recently gave my sister Noel a framed picture of “all my girls” for her birthday – my wife Lisa, daughter Laura, Noel, and our new granddaughter Kaia, truly from my heart.

LAURA The best gift I ever received was a handmade knit blanket for my newborn daughter Kaia from a dear family friend. That blanket will bring memories and comfort to my daughter over the years and  I’m grateful to have such a special story to go along with it.

One of my favorite gifts I’ve given was a handwritten holiday scrapbook card for my best girlfriends. It was filled with photos and memories that chronicled our years of friendship. The joy and surprise on their faces as they relived the memories was priceless!
