We had an added blessing this 2008 Christmas........ Elaine's youngest daughter, Steph, and our grandchildren, Madeline and Mason, arrived in Somerville on December 19 to celebrate the holidays with us!
"Thank You, Father, for blessing us!"
How do you squish hundreds of activities into one and a half days? We seemed to do it! We put our running shoes on and charged through each moment grasping onto memories! Taking loads of photos helped!
Of course, "Sunny Cat" was the biggest attraction for the children! Madeline bought a special toy gift for him, which has become his most favorite thing to play with! Sunny loved the attention!
Steph and I talked and talked....not sure who talked the most! :) But how strange it is....we just never have enough time to say it all!
The girls (Madeline, Steph and me) decorated homemade gingerbread boys. Madeline piled her frosted boy high with every kind of sprinkle there was available and then set her boy aside to gobble up the sprinkles that had gathered in the "holding dish"! Steph was the artist with her gingerbread boy! Every sprinkle was carefully and thoughtfully placed on the smoothly applied frosting! A work of art which dared not be eaten! I just frosted my gingerbread boy, shook an array of sprinkles on and indulged in the gingery delicacy! It was a grand time!
(Mason and Sunny Cat were taking a nap and I GranBud was watching a football game!)
GranBud sat on the porch as the children played outside. Mason enjoyed lining up on the porch with him and "talking" man things! A precious sight!
The visit was way too short, but we were so thankful for every waking second.
Perhaps next time, Jay will be able to come. (He was on a business trip at this time.) We missed him greatly!
A Memorable 2008 Christmas with the Flowers!
