Editing this because I broke the form the first time around. :) Just fixing that.

I am humbled and incredibly grateful for this perfect little mug, and most especially the note included with it. My secret santa turned out to also be a mom to a young baby and decided to build on that connection to personalize this mug just for me. The other side says "I Heart Mom" and then she painted these aliens on the blank side. In a fog today I thought, "Huh... I wonder why she left the ears off of the small ones..." until I realized they are supposed to be my babies. My twin boys... right there on my mug.

So, thank you Santa. You can't know how much it means to me that you reached out and made a connection like this. I will use this every day and be reminded how incredibly fortunate I am that not only are there other people out there who somehow randomly care about each other, but also that I am so lucky to have my wonderful family right here around me. This is the best gift ever.
