Hand-Me-Downs

I can't even explain how much I appreciate all the hand-me-downs we receive. The kids have beautiful clothes and toys that have been given to us by sweet, generous friends and family. Every time we use a toy or I dress the kids I think about how lucky we are to have all these gifts.

Last week PJ brought home a bunch of wonderful stuff from our friend Anne. She has a boy and girl just a bit older than Pete and Jamie. I won't list everything we received from her but let's just say the kids enjoy the kitchen oven/stove and the Little People toys a lot. And I now have a nice tupperware of Girls 2T clothes started for Jamie.

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids on "Christmas morning" checking out their new stuff.
Someday I will pay it forward. I have appreciated and enjoyed everything that was ever given to us and I plan to hand it all down to another family someday.
