Some of you frequent readers
(are there any of those??)
may remember me saying I was going to make Granny Square blankets for my kids for Christmas
Well, I got them done
(and NOT at the last minute, believe it or not!)
They both came together quite nicely and I am so proud of my work!
So I wanted to share!
*******
I love these colors all together.
I decided on them based on her bedding color scheme as seen here:

Now here is Tristan's:

| notice the 2 yellow squares at the bottom left that don't match! Lol, I ran out of the right yarn and couldn't find it anywhere! |
 |
| Love these squares |
 |
| Wrapped and ready. |
Every year for Christmas we let them each open one gift, and we decided this would be the one this year.
 |
| loves it! |
 |
| she looks excited!! |
 |
| she kept telling me over and over how much she loved it. That means a lot coming from a 3 year-old! |
 |
| cuddled up on the couch with their new blankets! |
It was hilarious because they were both so tickled with the fact that they could make their toesies stick out through the holes! hahahaha
All-in-all the blankets were a huge hit!
I'm so glad I put in the effort for my babies to have yet another handmade gift from me to keep forever!
