Remember when you go to mass this morning to say a prayer for all your neighbors, friends and relatives, say a special little prayer for the troops that are far from home and their families that will be with out them this year. While you a looking at your own today, remember how fortunate you are to be together and be able to celebrate this holiday season with all close together and out of harms way.
Enjoy a nice meal and appreciate the time you have together with friends and family.
Merry Christmas, It is 7:30 am and I know the little one will be waking up any time, Santa came and brought her a bunch of gifts, she will be so excited, I am just sitting here writing you guys waiting in anticipation. Don't want to wake her because she will be cranky and when that kid is cranky, there isn't enough toys in the world to cheer her up. Hope the little ones in your life are having a wonderful christmas morning, hope the adults can share in the childhood happiness and hope you all have a very merry christmas.

Oh how I remember those days....enjoy that while it's still alive in your home goodnatured...once you have a child running toward the tree Christmas morning....Christmas just isn't quite the same when it's gone....
I know, she has certainly brought out the kid in me, she is fixing my hair right now, I bet it will be just beautiful when it is done, she says it will anyway, we will see, LOL. She has a strange description of beautiful.
I bet she did a great job, little kids do have their own definitions on alot of things, especially their own creations. I think it is sweet that she wants to do your hair, take it as a bonding experience, even if it hurts, sometimes they can get pretty carried away and rip your hair half out of your head.
You know Good natured this child is very lucky to have a grandma as a mama in many many ways....grandmas have a lot more patience (ie hairdo!)....maybe it's just 'you' that she's so lucky to have...your love and appreciation of this child clearly comes thru in your posts. _________________ **************************************

Oh, I do love her dearly, she is my little devil, LOL. She has been the best part of my entire life, truthfully, I would have never have experienced half of the love and emotions that I have if I had not had the blessing of being her parent. I say if you want to see honestly, love and hope, look into the eyes of a child. I have discovered so much about myself, she makes me an emotional mess in the touchy times, like the first time she called me "mommy", My god Lori, I was standing at the kitchen counter and she tapped me on the leg and said it, I started crying. I am sure there will be many happy tears to come, I am not normally an emotional person, but this kid can bring out so much of it in me.

My babys and grandbaby's are about all that does make me bawl! However, your story about her calling you 'mom' about did it too! _________________ **************************************

Well, I never had any of my own, I have always been independant, never got into all that mushy stuff. Guess I never had the opportunity to open my heart so fully, don't get me wrong, I love my hubby, but with a child it is a different kind of love. Not any greater, just different, kind of like steak and burgers you know, LOL. I love them both very much, just she can pull the emotion out of me so easily. good and bad, crying and laughing. She is a sweetie, I am just so lucky to have experienced her. I just wish every parent I see would open their heart to their kids and experience what this child has made me feel. I did not mean to upset you, lol, I am sure you have experienced what I am talking about with your own kids, I would have been an emotional mess at child birth, I could just see me bawling my eyes out. LOL
She has just been such a blessing to me, I just don't know how else to explain it, but I think you know.
I sure do, (and every parent does as well).... _________________ **************************************
