After having our last baby, Alexandra, we received a number of gifts.  We received a lot of the common stuff like diapers, sleepers and a blanket or two.  You smile and nod because you are thankful for the gifts, but in reality, these types of gifts are really not that exciting.  Now, I am not trying to be thankless, but sometimes you just want something a little more exciting.

A friend of mine took some photos of our baby at the baby shower and contacted us a few days later.  She said that she had her present for us and that we should come check it out.

Packing everyone into the car, we went over to her house to see what Alexandra’s present would be.  What we saw was the exciting gift that I had been waiting for!  You see, she put the photos onto canvas which turned the prints into exciting pieces of art.  It captured one of the early moments of her life and it is something that we can keep forever.

It was definitely one of the most unique baby gifts we have ever received.
