A Priceless Baby Shower

MasterCard's current advertising campaign tagline is "Priceless". The slogan associated with the campaign is "There are some things money can't buy.” We first nicknamed Wesley and Kristin’s baby “Priceless” as a spin on their last name, but over time the title came to represent the personification of God’s blessings. Priceless also is the time we shared together at the baby shower. Rituals like these bond a family together, and sharing the gift opening with the twins helps them prepare for a new little cousin. We passed along to “Priceless” a number of the boys’ outgrown baby items, and purchased many new items for the baby, but one of Grandma’s gifts was the hit of the shower. She passed on the baby blanket that Great Grandmother Mac made for her three quarters of a century ago. Accordingly, that heirloom is priceless.
