Last year for Christmas we drew names for presents in our family.
The rules were that you were supposed to make a present for the person you drew.
The kids really took this seriously and I loved it!
Jake, in particular, spent a lot of time on his gift to Emma.
He wrote a priceless book of poems just for her.
Not only did he write the poems (there was about five of them), but he also illustrated them with water colored pictures and hand sewed them together for the binding.
It is seriously the most precious thing you've ever seen!
Every one of the poems are written especially for Emma.
The one titled "Big Brother" is a tear-jerker and I know he wouldn't want me to share the whole thing but here's the illustration that went along with it and a little snippet...
"No matter where you go
No matter what you do
Just know that if you mess up
Your brother's there for you.
He won't always be right by your side
But no matter where he is
He's always thinking about how much
He loves his little sis."
Jake, Emma's blessed to have you in her life!
