This year was the first year ever that my oldest granddaughter lived so close. We did so much together!
I love my adult kids very much and enjoyed time with them as well but this year, it was all about the grandgirl and the critters!
She and I had some quality time together.
I took her to the Festival of Trees where she met the REAL Santa:
We made a gingerbread house:
We dressed up the animals and took pictures:
(She did not help with the horses as she was not around but I'll share them anyway because they are so adorable!)
Ruger, Toby and Scout:
Sniper:
Deuce:
Soda Pop, Jena's guinea pig that I care for since she can't have pets at her new home:
And Yuumei, my 5 month old kitten:
I also dressed up the kid! LOL
We did our annual Christmas day Jingle Bell ride around the pasture
in a blizzard! Yes indeed, we had a white Christmas! :)
We ate and ate and ate and exchanged gifts.
It was a dolly Christmas for her. You see, she loved the prototype Nicky Jack that I reborned in December of 2010. Every time she visited, she wanted to hold him and told me how much she loved him. She thinks he is so unique. I had placed him on eBay right after his "birth" but he did not sell. I had him on my website and took him to every show...but he did not sell. After my last show in September, I removed him from all sale lists and set him aside for her for Christmas.
I took a video of her opening him:
And we took studio pictures of some of the members of our family:
My youngest step-daughter Jill and her husband Zach:
We knew we were going to be grandparents again in May (Nike and Jason's first)
but wrapped up under the tree was this telling us WHAT the baby would be:
I pray that each of you had a wonderful Christmas with special moments spent with family.
God Bless!
