We recently received a package in the mail from Great Aunt Roberta and Uncle John Hand. Inside we found Christmas gifts with instructions to open now. The reason became obvious when we opened the presents. Each boy received two hand-made embroidered Christmas bibs, one decorated with a Santa and the other with a Nutcracker soldier. Also included for each boy was a Christmas ornament hand-made many years ago by their Great Grandmother Louise MacLaggan. The decoration features a cross-stitched green train engine. Sandy immediately recognized her grandmother’s work and cherished the heirlooms’ significance.
