Late gifties
Both my mommy and Marco loved the gifties The Hubby and I gave to them! Yay!
For Marco, I made swedish meatballs almost completely from scratch, and I gave him the beanie hat that I posted about a while ago. He was extremely happy. =) My mom asked him about how he was going to put the hat on his head, since he currently has a 6-inch-tall faux hawk going on. He said the hat will help when he shaves his head (soon). It'll keep his head warm. =D So, after his marveling over his gifts, I told Mommy about hers.
I hugged my mommy and told her that her gift from The Hubby and me would be that I would take her out to wherever she wanted to go. I said that I would pick her up, drive her to anywhere she wanted to go, like take her out shopping, and take her to lunch. Before I said it, I wasn't sure if she would go for that idea because I had no tangible gift to present, such as a card explaining her gift. However, as I started to explain the gift, her eyes grew as big as saucers and a silly grin spread across her face. She looked like a little kid in a candy store. Immediately she said, "Oh, not this month." I told her it can be whenever--she just has to let me know ahead of time. She looked so happy, and I'm sure it was as much of a gift for my dad as for my mom (it's one less shopping trip on which he has to take her). =)
W00t! So happy they liked their gifts! Two down, about half a dozen more to go.
