Oh my goodness, Alicia! What thoughtful things to do. You are teaching your boys how important it is to give rather than receive. You are a great Mom!!
Please take some time to rest and enjoy the reason for the season and put your feet up and enjoy this pregnancy! Remember to, "Be Still and Know He Is God." and enjoy a cup of tea in your beautiful tea cup :-) I love you very much and am so very proud of you!

Words cannot express how truly kind you are Alicia....AND...imparting that thoughtfulness to your boys is so wonderful. The lessons they have learned, and continue to learn, from you and Grant will serve them well as they journey through life. Each frame here made us smile and bring a little tear to our eyes...How special was this day! We Love You, Dan and Donna
