Grandma's Gift

Each year there seems to be a gift I get excited about giving. This year my grandma was the lucky recipient. I normally wouldn't give something old/used as a gift, but I guess there sometimes is an exception to the rule. Here's a little background: My grandparents have had 2 cookie jars that say "The Cracker Barrel" on them (nothing to do with the restaurant) since before I was born - so we're talking over 30 years. Well...I broke one back in September trying to keep two little 2-year-old hands off of them. So then the search began. I wanted to get another cookie jar that was similar, knowing the chances of finding the exact one would be tough...but thanks to ebay, they have a pair once again.

*side note - I just found out that the one I broke said "The Cookie Jar", not "The Cracker Barrel" - oh well...

She just said, "Is it the same one?!"

Caden had to come verify that it was the same :)
"New" one on the left, old on the right.
Someone was a little sad that I asked him to stop playing for a quick picture.
Abby was really interested in who was holding her.

So glad you could find one. How thoughtful of you to think of replacing the one that was broken. Happy New Year!!
