Amazing Gift From My Aunt

Brooklyn,

Today we received and awesome gift in the mail from your Great Aunt Chris.

Here is the gift:



I know that your thinking, "awe, thats cute!" but here is why this gift is such a great gift: (Click on the picture to enlarge)



Your Great Grandmother passed away in 1986 after a long battle with bone marrow cancer. She was an awesome woman and an inspiration to anyone who met her. Aunt Chris had kept this outfit, that she had made, all those years and blessed you (and us) with this wonderful surprise. Chris lives in Boston and we are in Florida so we don't get to spend a lot of time together but she continues to stay involed in our lives and has always been there in our time of need. She, like your great grandmother, is an amazing woman and a we're so thankful she's our aunt. Your gonna love her, we do!
