A Special Gift

Today I received a box from my MIL & FIL for my birthday. In there was a card and gift for me, but more exciting a dress, hat and blanket my MIL made for our little girl. This was her first time making baby clothes and a blanket and I think she did a wonderful job! Thank you! The fabric for the blanket is an Amy Butler print. I have seen similar blankets online so I just sent my MIL some photos. I am so happy with all of the pieces, thank you for the special gift!

*There are matching bloomers for the dress, which is reversible, but I wasn’t able to photograph. Our camera is on the fritz so it looks like we will be buying a new one.
