Another Merry Christmas!

We spent a wonderful Christmas in Massachusetts at Memere & Pepere's house. This weekend we had another amazing Christmas with Maddy & Poppy at our home in Maine. Here are just a few memories from our Christmas with Maddy & Poppy : So many fun learning toys, "apple," "buh-bye," "oh-oh" (Elmo)," "ah-duh," lotions, "Where's the Elmo phone?," Grace running down our hallway into the kitchen to find the next present, Grace eating ANYTHING as long as it came from Maddy, the letter 'm,' shopping in Freeport, the love bug song, Poppy's toothbrush, Grace delicately unwrapping all of her gifts, the pink snowmen & Elmo wrapping paper, the Haba wooden food (especially the apples!), all of the healthy play food, "Shall I mix it up?," go bus go, the ball popper, building a four block tower, trying to get all of the toys out of the packaging, 101 things to do/places to go before you're 12, butterfly kisses, Grace giving Maddy & Poppy goodnight kisses, Goodnight Vermont, BIG Ella!, the rocking moose, Grace's many smiles upon seeing Maddy & Poppy when she woke up in the morning, turning books the right side up, eyes & ears & mouth & hair.....but most of all the the precious time we all spent together as a family. Thank you so much for everything.

Happy days! It sounds as though Grace cleaned out Santa's workshop. Those little elves certainly knew what would make you happy, Grace.
Endless hugs and kisses,
Memere

Dearest Amazing Grace,
We had a visit full of sensational sparkle and marvellous moments. We loved watching you discover the joy of learning through all of your new toys. I cannot wait to go back to school and share your knowledge of the letters B, O and m
(lowercase!) and the truly PHENOMRNAL way you turn all books the right side up when they are upside down.....this is really TRUE....we saw you do this over and over with our very own eyes as you say, "UP" while turning the book!!! You are the most beautiful and the smartest granddaughter we have. It's incredible how Grandparents seem SO young once you become one!

We love our "Grace" calendar very much. Even though we are not wishing time to go by too quickly, we will hardly be able to wait to turn to the next month! Thank You.

We were in desperate need of some "grandbaby lovin' time!" and we enjoyed every minute with you, Grace. We had lots of fun and loving times with your Mommy and Daddy, too. Keep building those towers as you reach higher and higher--the sky isn't even the limit for you. We love "apples, being careful of hot things, and being all-done(ah-duh) more than anything now!
All of Our Very Best Love

You can tell from this picture how much Grace loves Maddy and Poppy. I am so glad that you guys got to spend some time together over the holidays. Grace looks so excited. There is nothing like a child at Christmas time.
Love you guys,
