My parents exited 2009 by moving out of the house we were raised in and moved into a beautiful new ranch. The new house is slightly smaller and all on one level which is a better layout for them. While I thought the move would be a tear-jerker, everyone did really well and there were very few, if any, kleenex needed. As a momento, I decided to make my parents a book of the old house with some memories. On Thanksgiving, I snapped some pictures of each room of the house, then went outside and snapped some of the different views of the house. I laid out the pages, found some incredible quotes and put together an amazing book for them. The book was given to them on Christmas Eve, about a week after being in the new house.... this is when the Kleenex were brought out! Here are a few snapshots of the final product:
Seems I have made one or both of my parents cry the past couple Christmases! My promise to them for next year is that I won't make them anything that will make them cry.
