This book is a love letter.

Here we have tried to capture the heart of our family gatherings and special occasionsthe way we care for one another through sewing, decorating, and baking, and the great lengths we go to in order to recapture some of our very best childhood memories, which always seem to have happened around the holidays.

However, in the end, this book is the love letter our families wrote back to us. They gathered alongside us to usher this book into existence, carrying us along during the hard parts and contributing their own gifts, without which we could not have made it.

We are also grateful to our friends, both old and new, who opened their homes to us. Lastly, we are thankful to you, the reader. This is our way of throwing open the door and welcoming you to the party. We hope these words and images inspire you and help you shower your own special people with love.

Kelly and Rebecca
