Gifts from the Heart

Yesterday I picked up them mail and we had a package from the Gollnick family. 

They are people that Matt knew as a child and we have reconnected with over social media in the last few years.

Mary Ann and I share a common love for family history and she is always so faithful at sending us a card and sometimes a gift at Christmas. 

Unfortunately, I do not have it as together as she does and often miss the mark at letting her know we love her.

(We love you!) 

Anyway, I opened the box and pulled out this book. 

The letter with it said she loved book folding art.

At first I couldn't figure out what the art part was.

I just saw lots of folds.

Then I held it out open in front of me and was so surprised to see our name in the pages!

I was excited.

I immediately showed the kids and they thought it was so cool.

When I showed it to Matt he immediately lamented on how lame we are in our correspondence with them, but was so excited for the gift.

Then I thought about how much time that must taken.

This is truly a gift to our family.

Thank you Mary Ann!

We love you and maybe we'll get a New Years card out.

haha!
