Christmas Joys


Reflections on this holiday:
1) Having well-behaved grandchildren around is amazing. What fun!
2) Have no expectations about gifts ~ the 6-year old is the one who is fascinated by the Pooh books I gave to the 3-year-old. Delightful to be reading those words from Milne again after all these years. And to a really appreciative audience. 
3) Always try: I put snowshoes on both little ones and they worked! They will get better and better. Grandpa had "plowed" a path on his snowshoes and we plowed a short path of our own. 
4) The three-year-old is fascinated by the nativity scene and the characters - especially the three kings. We've had numerous conversations. 
5) Adult daughters are wonderful ~ especially when she and her husband cook, often and creatively!
6) You never get tired of hearing, "I love you with all my heart." ~ blessings
