Priceless Gifts

Receiving packages is always fun, but it is rarely a priceless gift let alone gifts that arrive at your door.  Friday when the mail was delivered I was fortunate enough  to be the recipient of not one, but two priceless gifts from my Sister-in-Law Ashley.
Ashley is an amazing artist.  A few months ago she offered to paint portraits of my little ones.  Knowing what an amazing treasure these would be I was very careful in my selection of the pictures that I gave to her.  I pondered the ages of the kids as well as the backgrounds and physical features.
Knowing that I change our family photos out every year I decided to capture some of their first smiles caught of film!  Each of the children are around six months old in their pictures.
I am overjoyed with Adam's & Addison's that arrived in the mail on Friday!  I couldn't wait to call Ashley and share my excitement.  What a wonderful talent she has and I am so blessed that she has shared it with me!!  I can't wait to see Amelia & Alex.
I told Ashley that these will have to be professionally framed to half way do the paintings justice.  I would never want anything to harm these masterpieces.
What treasures these are to me.
