Nana Walton Masterpieces

Just after we found out the sexes of the twins back in October, when I was 19 weeks pregnant, Nick and I thought it would be fun to keep it a secret. We swore to each other we would not tell anyone the sexes of the babes. We had a ton of fun keeping the secret and enjoyed hearing all your guesses and laughed at attempts to trick us into giving up the info.

Well, we kept the secret from everyone except one person...Nana Walton (Nick's grandma).

Before leaving for Florida in November Nana asked, "Bre, I know you aren't telling anyone the sexes of the twins, but would you consider telling me because I'd like to make quilts for them?"


Now, we were tough on everyone else and refused to spill the beans...but how could I say no to that!? Of course I told her, without thinking twice. Nana came over to show me the fabric before leaving for Florida and we were both giddy about these beautiful quilts she would be making.


After 5 months of working on these gorgeous quilts, Nana and Bompa came back from Florida this weekend and rushed over to meet Cal & Teagan for the first time and give them their quilts.

Here is the unveiling of Nana's works of art...

We have a few other "Nana Walton Originals" around the house. Here is a picture of Ethan on his "Nana Quilt" when he was 8 months old. By the way, check out how much Cal & Ethan look alike!




THANK YOU NANA!!!
