Adam has wanted a BYU quilt for quite sometime now, so I decided to take on the challenge. I got a sewing teacher, who was amazing and walked me through the whole thing. I was surprised how time consuming quilts are, but it was worth all the time when Adam's face lit up when he saw it. I took Adam's T-shirts from all of his college years (mens chorus, football, orchestra, graduation...) and sewed them together with blue and white squares. It was fun, but I am sure glad I don't have to sew for awhile.....
My Dad has a tradition of buying a gun for all of his children that graduate from college. I feel honored to receive such a nice gift, but I feel even more honored to have him as my dad. My Dad taught me how to work hard, stay determined, study well, and most of all do my best. He always gave me hope when I was down or discouraged from school. So really he should be getting a gun not me. Dad, thanks for teaching me the key to success in college. Love you!
My brother Mike got Adam a remote control airplane for christmas. He flies it out in front of our house almost every night. We also just found out that we are setting a trend in our neighborhood, multiple neighbors have bought airplanes too.

Wow, Becca! That is one amazing quilt. I am SO impressed. It looks great. Hope you are doing well. Miss you!
That quilt is so awesome! I need to find someone to teach me how to sew. My mother-in-law got me a sewing machine for Christmas two years ago and... well... I haven't really used it yet. Shame shame. Looks like you had a good Christmas! Have fun with your gun!
That quilt looks awesome, Bec! Can't wait to see it in real life. How did the new ornaments go over?
that quilt is beautiful, nice work
Adam, it seems like sometime late Christmas morning I saw that same airplane stuck in the Nilsen's tree across the street, and I don't remember you "playing" with it again during the rest of the break. Did you recover it?
