A Blanket and a Pillow

Shopping for Todd is impossible.  He actually doesn't enjoy receiving gifts, particularly in front of others.  I thought that was lame until one of my host teachers a few years back was the same way and I looked it up.  It actually is an unusual personality trait.  Then there is the fact he really doesn't want anything.  He just works and hangs out with us.  No time for hobbies.  And then add to it Christmas is his birthday!  Ugh.  I've had a few hits and many more misses over the years, but I don't take them personally anymore.   I had this blanket made for him from my favorite photos of the year. I knew he loved when he said stressfully that he couldn't use it in card he wrecked it. Awww. No matter.  I put it in the parlor where Abbey has taken it over.  She loves it and my pillow from Tammy.  She wants to snuggle them.   I love them both, too.  Sometines Abbey seems so much like me.  

My Tammy pillow.  Its just perfect. And it's funny; it's practically a match to the blanket.  She also gave me a giant clock that's just what my library/parlor needs.  :).
