The Mia-Bucca gift

A little bit of background:
Ok. Well, when daddy was a little baby, Bucca had gotten him a rocking horse and when Aunt Quinny was a baby, she was given a cradle. So, logically, when they started having babies of their own, these heirlooms were passed on to the corresponding family- which, obviously, left Blayne without a cradle and Kennedy without a rocking horse. So, when Blayne was born, it made sense for Mia and Bucca to build her a beautiful cradle and Ms. Kennedy an equally gorgeous rocking horse.

(For the record- it is my understanding that Aunt Haley got no such gift, so her first child will be receiving both a cradle and a rocking horse ;-)

Mommy and Daddy complicated matters with a second child, so now Mia and Bucca had to come up with yet another idea for a special gift.

After lots of guesswork, some hints and a puzzle, the newest work of art was revealed:

A Rocking Motorcycle!

Thank you so much Mia and Bucca for this amazing creation. It is truly a masterpiece. We will all enjoy it for years to come!

You are correct, Aunt Haley only received the hand-me-downs from her older siblings, which goes to show the third child gets jipped-even if Ian argues that i got a cell phone in high school and he didnt have one until college(but that is just called technology)- so I agree that my first child (many years from now) should get both a cradle and a rocking horse, or the second option will be a new house (for the first child of course :) xoxo

Way to go, Bucca! Quinn told us about the gift, but it's even more beautiful than I pictured!
