The holidays are finally over and we are now into our second week in January. We had a wonderful holiday around here and I am very thankful that I wasn’t sitting in a hospital this year.
We spent Christmas morning opening gifts with our little grand daughter, my daughter Jenelle and my future son-in-law “The Big E” and then headed off to the nursing home to spend time with my great auntie, her lady friends and we had holiday dinner with them.
After we got back home we enjoyed another holiday dinner that my husband and I had prepared and did some relaxing. It sure was nice to spend time with the family this year…but wow, it wears me out!
My photo for this week is one I snapped quickly on Christmas morning before the Princess tore into all of her Christmas gifts! She was so excited and could hardly contain herself and we loved sitting here watching her eyes get big with excitement and hearing her giggle! Fun, Fun, Fun!
Well there you have it! Another “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post for this week! We hope you all had a nice holiday too!
Such an excited, good princess! I bet she couldn’t wait to tear into the gifts. I’m surprised you managed to get a photo at all. What time did she have you up to open? My grandkids live far away in Florida so my daughter (that lives here) texted my daughter-in-law in Florida at 4 in the morning our time. My grandkids had gotten up before 5 to open. Wow! We did get to skype with them and see them playing. It’s always nice to experience Christmas morning with children. The excitement is overwhelming. Christmas morning, we all turn into big kids.
They came over to our house at around 10am. I had everything waiting & ready to go. I told her she couldn’t get into them until she sat & smiled pretty for my photo! LOL Bribery, it works every time 🙂
What a pile of gifts – lucky Princess! It is so nice to hear you spent so much time with family – especially making the effort to see your Aunt. This was our first Christmas without our beloved Nanny (she died in February at 98) and we all missed traipsing over to her apartment for a wonderful time.
Children always make Christmas seem even better. Your granddaughter looks so excited in anticipation of opening her gifts. Christmas here was very nice, especially since both my sons and daughter-in-laws were able to come to our home. Since there are no grandchildren yet I guess I am the one most excited about opening gifts- a child at heart!
Christmas is always more fun with youngsters. She does look excited.
