City of Hope Christmas

We have put a lot of thought into how we can give back and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.  We settled on making pillow cases and buying and making some blankets for the hospital.  It has made the season more meaningful helping us to focused on what is most important.  Mr. Blue Eyes has been sewing his little heart out.  So touching even for me,  I was not sure if it would take hold in my children but it has especially for him.  So this is his tower of peace, love and good will to the children at City of Hope!  For me as a mom it has been therapeutic remembering the blankets and pillowcases we were given during this truly difficult time.  We all can make a difference one step and one day at a time. Tonight my ache fingers would say one pin prick at a time!
It truly matters and I know more than ever that these gifts for the children transcend the actual physical representation that they hold.... They offer hope, thoughts of  love and good will of others for there healing and recovery.

 

The above pillow cases were made by a youth group from our church friends that we took for them. 

 

Here are a few of the pillowcases that we took.
