If you ask my mother-in-law what she did to occupy her time during the winter months she spent in Florida, she'll have one answer:
crochet.
I suppose most crocheting grandmothers only have to make one blanket at a time. Four all at once is a tall order! Mom was smart and recruited her mom and sister to help out. She made two, Gram made one, and Aunt Cindy made one.
So now the kids have four gorgeous handmade blankets in bright Peruvian colors waiting to welcome them when they finally arrive.
I hope that by the time cold weather comes again, there will be six of us snuggling up in these blankets to watch a movie or play a game together!

| One of Mom's. I love the combo of stripes and squares. |
 |
| Mom's second one. |
 |
| No two squares are alike! |
 |
| Gram made this one. Love the funky patterns in the yarn! |
 |
| Aunt Cindy's is super soft... |
 |
| ...and comes with a bonus matching hat and scarf! |
Such a special gift. Made by some of the people we love most in the word. We are feeling loved.

Awww...that's so awesome!! Quilts and afghans made with love are some of the best gifts and possibly prayers said during the making. : )
