The first week in December I get to spend a day shopping with my sisters. This is something we did when Mom was still alive. She loved shopping and we knew she would want us to keep this tradition up. We miss having Collette close by, not very often does she get to join us. So we sure do look forward to our get together in the summer time. While we were in St. George over the Thanksgiving holiday I found the perfect little gift I could give my sisters this year. It was something that reminded me so much of my mom that I just had to have them. I took them the day we went shopping so Jan and Tamara could open theirs. I mailed Collette hers, and she called a couple days later to thank me. She also said, "You always know how to make us cry!" When she saw it of course it reminded her of mom.

And Jan with hers.
And here is what I gave them. A Christmas ornament to hang somewhere to remind them of Mom. For those of you who knew my mom, she loved shopping and she always had a new handbag for all the seasons. So I guess you could say she has taught us everything we know. Like Mother, Like Daughter. I also gave them a pair of earrings I had made from left over beads from the necklaces I gave them for their birthdays. Aren't sisters great. I love all of mine so very much.
