tonight my grand daughter, daughter and SIL came to celebrate Christmas with us. After a feast of cherry ham, wild rice, deviled eggs, and a salad, we unwrapped presents. The wee one opened all our gifts whether they were for her or not. She just gets sheer joy out of unwrapping the presents! LOL.
Remember when I said she had gone shopping for everyone? Well, I was given a bag of pipe cleaners from her. LOL. And my husband got a set of fake mustaches! LOL!!! We loved them!
We got her a pink english saddle, for she is a little horsey girl. She is going to start lessons this summer and now has her own saddle! (she is almost 3)We also got her some dolls, and a breyer horse.
We didnt go overboard. It was a sweet simply holiday gathering but the little girl didnt want to leave "bubi and pops house"...she kept asking if she could stay longer, and even when she left, my daughter texted me and told me she was begging them to take her back to us again soon.
I love being a grand mother. I love these moments with her. I am so glad I am here and can enjoy her. I have another grand daughter coming in March, Evangaline. These two will be my reason to keep smiling...
