"Gifts"

This year for Christmas we did gifts for our family and sent out Christmas cards to everyone else.
There was one couple that we just love to death and wanted to do something alittle extra special for them but what????
We would look every time we went to the stores to try and decide on something to get them. But nothing ever jumped out at us. We wanted something different, something unique. That's when we were at the PX one afternoon and some crazy idea came across Gabe. He pick out a picture frame and said "what if we get this", (it was a Hawaiian frame, keeping in mind this couple has not been to Hawaii) I said but its a Hawaii frame, "like if they had been to Hawaii, then we could put a picture of them in it and send it to them." He said "NO, we will get a picture of us & were our face is we will make it a white circle and have it say "YOUR FACE HERE" and then have something written at the bottom as well." I laughed about it a bit but then thought it would be a perfect gift for these two people. Something simple yet, typical from Gabe and they would totally know that is was all his idea. I think the Husband will get a kick out of it more, but it will be a good conversation piece for them. As well as NOT that they would ever forget us but this just give them one more thing to remember us by. Hee Hee.
So we finally managed to get it all put together and mailed out this week, I can not wait till they get it to see what they thought. :)
Here is a picture of the out come.




At the bottom it says "YOU JUST WON A TRIP OF A LIFE TIME TO HAWAII!!!!!!"
