I was recently over my brother’s house for my niece’s birthday when my sister-in-law handed me a gift. It wasn’t my birthday or anything so I was a bit confused as to why a perfectly wrapped present soon found its way onto my lap.
Of course it piqued my interest. What could it be? Why would she give me a gift for no specific reason? I typically don’t receive presents from her without a special occasion attached to the date. So with some excitement, I began to unwrap the perfectly presented package…
And inside?
What did I find?
Let’s just say she knows me all too well…
Mommy’s Sippy Cup:
Is this the most adorable wine glass EVER?

Haha. How thoughtful. That is the perfect wine glass!

Very cute!!!
In the morning, after I prepare the boys’ bottles, I tell them, “mommy needs her bottle now,” and I prepare a big cup of coffee
Very sweet of your SIL

It’s great…especially b/c it’s half full (or half empty…depending on your outlook)!

You are blessed with a very considerate sister-in-law! My friend sent me something just as lovely…a wine glass that holds an ENTIRE bottle of wine. Aren’t we lucky to have such great people in our lives (read….lushes). If you want to see my wine glass I wrote about my friend’s kindness on my blog..take a look! http://coastalchick.com/?p=260
Enjoy your new gift!
