Gift the 2nd

Here is the promised second installment on the telling of our wonderful gifts we received from far away this year. This is the gift that Jason made for Josh. I knew at first that it was going to be made of wood. Later on Sarah told me that it was going to be a game board (checkers, etc.). I had no idea exactly what to expect.

This is what we (Josh) received.

A totally awesome, rustic checkers board.
Jason makes wood furniture on up to full fledged log cabins.
(Maybe some day he could build me one :) )
Thanks Jason, we love it.

Here are a few other angles so you can see it in all its glory.

Close-Up
(notice the dark piece in the back of the first row, that's my fav. It has a handle and everything)


And here is the side view. So you can kinda see what it was made of.



Once again, Jason, thanks for all of your hard work. And the lovely gift.

You all may be thinking that is the end of the gifts. You would be wrong. Sarah really outdid herself. I am sure that you all hope that she pulls your name next year. Stay tuned for the last of the amazing gifts is sure to be posted soon.

Gift the 1st

So for Christmas this year Josh and I were lucky enough to have both Jason and Sarah give to us. I knew that they were hand making our gifts so I was very excited to see what they would do.
The day after Christmas we went over to mom and dad's house for the party. I was not expecting anything that day since Sarah had already told me our gifts would be late.
I was so pleasantly surprised when a gift was handed to me from them.
The gift was a beautiful set of wooden candle holders. We absolutely love them. Birch I think???
Here is a photo of them as we have them set up on our entertainment unit.


Thanks guys we love them a lot.

That was not the end of the gifts however. There were more to come in the mail.
Those I will save for another post. Sorry you will have to wait. :)
