By far the coolest gift my kids (well any of us really!) received this Christmas was the Handcrafted All Carved Wood Motorcycle Rocker that my father-in-law made. The entire motorcycle is handcrafted from wood and then painted. My husband, the leather-worker, fashioned the leather seat (behind my back – apparently everyone knew about this thing except me…..always the last to know). My FIL even found a revving motor for the handlebars, not to mention the wheels actually move and the handlebars turn. Because I can’t thank him enough for this beautiful masterpiece, I have to publicly acknowledge all of his hard work, time and skill that went into this. There are rumors flying that he was still working on this on Xmas Eve.

The boys have had a blast both riding & enjoying their hot, little motorcycle! Not to mention taking on their new biker personas and beating the crap out of each other deciding who is going to ride first. Uncle Marc would be so proud!
Vroom! Vroom!
And here’s the man behind the magic – Grandpa Chuck. Check out more of his beautiful work here.
