It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I have just spent the last several hours with my most favorite people in the world. Here is who was in attendance today:

Abby....my precious and first grandaughter
Her sister Leah...she is a redhead and I could just eat her up!
Mia.....my long legged grandaughter from Ohio
Aubriella (Auby) her twin who is only a few minutes younger than Mia
Emmeline....my sweet and growing way too fast for me grandaughter who is the sister of the Ohio girls

Oh, and their parents were here too...except for Abby and Leah's daddy who was hard at work. Actually, it was so good to see Amy and her husband Jeremy, not to mention Amy's sister Beth (mother of my precious Abby and Leah). Don't get me wrong. I love seeing all of my kids. It is just that I can not get enough of ALL of my grandkids. Anyone reading this that is a grandparent knows exactly what I mean.

They have left now for Amy's mom's house where they will be spending the nights while they are in town. My sweet Joe has shingles again. I have to give it to him to day though. I know he was hurting something awful, but no one would have ever known. He acted just like he was fine. We all had a good time.

All of the grandkids went with everyone up to see Jones. I didn't have as many sugar cubes as I would have liked but we made the best of what we had. Jones seemed to really enjoy it. Bless her heart, she loves any attention she gets. Stephanie took all the grandkids (plus my darling son-in-law Jeremy) on the golfcart around the yard. They screamed with delight!

Tomorrow we will gather together and have our Christmas. I can not wait to see all of the kids open their presents. There is nothing else on Earth to compare to watching these precious kids open their presents. It's gonna be a good time in Kansas.

I was wishing you a wonderful Christmas and it sounds like my wish came true in a big way! I'm glad you have all your grandkids close at hand, and I know they are just as happy to be with you as you are to have them there. They are also the best medicine for Joe, but I'm sorry he's got shingles. Blessings to all in your house during this special time of year, honey!
