"Grandma is better than Christmas"

The girls on the day grandma was leaving.

Grandma signing the agenda for the last time (notice the scarf that she made - she made each child a scarf).

My tender hearted child saying good-bye.

Brett won a trip to Mexico with his company. We were fortunate that his mother was able to come and stay with the children. The trip was in January, and when we were talking about how grandma would be coming, Emily said, "Grandma is better than Christmas!"

...and she was. She kept the children home from school one day and played. Thanks grandma for coming out, and thanks for taking care of my babies. Also, thanks for being better than Christmas!
