Holiday Happiness

Family was abundant at Thanksgiving.  We visited, cooked, ate and shopped for Christmas--it was so much fun. I loved the time spent together and getting to know Josie much better.  I can still hear her singing in the car while we were driving.  What a joyful, generous little spirit she is. 

Then they go home, and it's too quiet.   We did make a fast trip to Joy's to celebrate Oliver's birthday.  He was so much fun.  We went with them to their ward Christmas Party, and he wore his Christmas pajamas since SisterMoberly wanted all the kids to wear them if they could.  He had one party after the other and was excited about it all.  We spent Christmas Eve with Heidi's fun family.

We did make some Gingerbread houses, and the girls modeled their Christmas pajamas.  

The Wednesday before Christmas, all the grandkids who live here spent the night with me.  Kaleb spent the afternoon with Papa while the girls and I saw, "Tangled".  It was a chick flick: we were all crying and oohing over the romantic hero.  We came home, ate pizza, and all piled into the car to see Christmas lights.  The girls asked me to turn on the radio and they sang along to Chrismas songs.  They sing very well, even Kaleb.   When we were looking at the last of the lights, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" came on and Elizabeth said, "That's the perfect song." 

Grandma loves having the grandkids over.
