LaTrise Wilson and her daughter, Myla, unwrapped two identical bags Monday night to find matching purple quilts in large and small sizes.

At the corner of LaTrise's quilt, a label commemorated the River City Habitat for Humanity's first "House That Cans Built."

After Monday's dedication ceremony, the house in the 800 block of Montana Street is the Wilson's home just days before Christmas.
