Edited to add Mom's #7
As his mom I will add another - #7 - for Christmas of 2004 I gave my mother a Christmas to remember!! I spent the night at home instead of my apartment and at 2 am (after Santa was thru putting out his stuff and SOUND asleep) I sneaked back upstairs and set the kitchen table with replacements for my mom's china that she had watched break all over the kitchen floor a few years before when the hutch fell off the base of her china cabinet. I had found a place online to order replacement pieces of older china designs that were no longer available.
Before I let her into the kitchen Christmas morning to see my surprise I gave her a beautifully wrapped box of Kleenex...she laughed and said ...like I am really gonna need this on Christmas day...and Kecia said "Oh, you will!" I then led her into the kitchen to see the whole table set with dinner plates, salad plates, dessert and soup bowls, tea cups and saucers, serving platters and serving dishes...even a gravy bowl.
She needed the tissues!

Darn - I should have read your blog before I posted mine (the lack of detail is a good idea). Oh well, I had fun looking for pictures and stuff.
Doesn't surprise me that Dirk did that. And we all knew #6...hence the post he did. :P

Mom forgot to mention that this was to replace the china she got for her wedding...nearly 40 years before!
#8 (by Kecia) One year when I was about 12, we had a drawing among the sibs for Christmas gifts. Dirk got my name. I remember I was playing around on the internet (back in the days of dial up and AOL online) and I found the website for FAO Schwartz. They have this Teddy bear that I FELL in love with. All big and soft and fluffy. Dirk came in and saw me looking at it. The bear, even the smallest one was pretty expensive for a 12 year old...so I forgot about it. Then on Christmas Dirk hands me this big box with a big grin on his face. I had NO clue what it was. If I remember right he put something really heavy in the box to throw me off. I open the box and there is the bear, all the way from New York City. And he didn't even get me the smallest one, he got me one of the bigger ones (which was more than our budget!). I loved that bear for so many years, I think it is still at my mom's house and I still love to pull it out and squeeze it. So he spoils his little sister as much as his mom (and, as I understand it, his wife).
Man, how come Dirk can't be that nice to me? lol
I just haven't found the opportunity yet.
I had been trying to figure out how to do mom's gift since the day her original china broke. First I had to figure out if it was possible to find the pattern short of visiting every antique shop in existence. Then I had to get financially capable of purchasing it all. Once I found the place to order the pattern and had the money it was a go.
Luckily all the pieces hadn't broken cause I needed the pattern name and number off the back of one of the remaining pieces in order to find the replacement pieces.
Just beware, someday I'll overhear you say something and that'll start my scheming brain to work.
Trust me Jamie, your day is coming. I don't know what or when but Kris and Mauri are have also both been the recipients of gifts.
