For my maternal grandma I redid her Birthday Calendar. For my paternal grandparents I gave them a picture frame with the vinyl wording: You Are the Sunshine in Our Lives...I forgot to take a pic of the completed project, but this is the picture that went in the frame:
We copped out on our dads and just bought them the BYU Vans that Chevron put out. For our moms...oh, our moms....You know that saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." well, that's how I ended up feeling about my Mom's gift. I had given her the same gift a few years ago, but it needed to be updated as the little kids had grown up and we had added 3 new babies. So I updated it to this:
I'm still not crazy about how it turned out, but it's done. I did the same thing for my MIL:

I also made a plaque for my uncle with my kids handprints on it saying, "Greatest Uncle Around Hands Down..." But forgot to snap a pic before wrapping it.
This is why I had no time for anything else in the month of December. I hope the gifts were received well and that everyone got the point we were trying to make. I enjoyed spending the time making them.
