Gifts from the past

Yesterday I received a belated birthday gift for myself and Emma and Elizabeth.  Along with the gift, included in the box were three dresses of mine from when I was a child (around ten years old I think) that my Grandma Re made as well as a crazy quilt she had made in 1978.  Included in the box was a picture of me at that age, wearing one of the dresses.  My children said, "who is that?" and then realized how much my second son looks like the picture.

Its fun to receive treasures from the past...
