Ode to our Grandma

(to the tune of 'When Grandpa comes')

It's always fun when Grandma comes, when Grandma comes, HOORAH!
She always does the kindest things and in the kindest ways.
She cooks, & cleans, & buys us things & even babysits!
It's always fun and great for mom when Grandma comes!!

We love you Grandma!! We miss you already!

Christmas Bear

We are trying out a new tradition this year. I really wanted the kids to get into the Christmas spirit. So we have the Christmas Bear. If you get the bear, it means that a service has been given to you, and now it is your turn to pass it on. It's the spirit of giving without spending money. The gift of yourself, which is, the BEST gift you can give. We just started, but it is looking good so far. Even Blake who is 3 1/2 is finding ways to give of himself. I'll have to let you know how it turns out. To be continued. . . .
