Every year, I have the same problem. The problem is with what to get my parents for Christmas. They have absolutely everything that they could ever need and if they don’t have it, then they just go and buy it. They are impossible to buy for and every year we get the same answer when we ask them what they want.

They always say that they do not want anything, except to have all their kids and grandchildren home for Christmas. It is such a cop out answer, so they usually end up with another fruit bowl or a new sweater or something equally as useless. This year, I determined that it was going to be different. I was going to get them something that they would absolutely love.

The idea hit me while I was trying to fall asleep one night. The last time we were all together, we took some pictures of all the grandchildren. I was going to look into putting photos onto canvas and giving them a large canvas picture of all five of the grandchildren together. It was something that they would find so spectacular. I couldn’t wait.
