It is easy to leave kind words...Protoge, thank-you! It is easy to leave kind words at your blog, you inspire them.<br /><br />Debbie,thanks. Of course I think my daughter and her hubby are attractive and my grandchildren among the fairest in the land...don't all parents and grandparents? These 4 grandchildren are happy children too and that makes my husband and I happy.We are enjoying this December, very much and fully aware of how blessed we are.<br /><br />Daisy, thank-you. You know, it is hard to find many sheep ornaments except in Nativity scenes and creches and I have often wondered why..seems the perfect adornment for any Christmas theme to me.<br /><br />Susie, my husband and I love having them over, we just wish our son and his 4 daughters lived closer for more visits.<br /><br />Mary,we both know time with our grandchildren is priceless and more special than words can express.Your grand-children must have many such special memories and their memories must be filled with great food!<br /><br />Timi, thank-you! You will have snow for Christmas? Excellent...this means snowmen and days being cozy inside while snowflakes fall outside, I LOVE days like that.<br /><br />Southern Comfort, thank-you! My husband and I are proud of our daughter and her husband, our son now, because they strive to honor God in how they live , in all ways. They are a true blessing to us, as are our sons and their families...I read in your blog your son and daughter are thus to you and your husband, no higher and more wonderful blessing to a parent who wants God's best for their children and grandchildren.<br /><br />Lanny, you're right, Oslo Kringle has 3, yes..count them ..THREE eggs in it so of course it is nutritious, plus 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of flour...and the confectioner sugar icing...very nutritious!<br /><br />A.Joy, yes I will be making lefse. I am bringing it to the family Christmas party and maybe if you're good Santa will persuade me to make enough for Christmas day dinner!<br /><br />Julie, so you know what I mean about the After-the-grandkids-leave naps! With all your blessings of grandchildren I do believe you know this very well!<br /><br />Leslie,it is wonderful to be a grandmother and all the cliches' are true, in time you will know for yourself. I think my husband and I are more conscious of the knowledge that the little snippets of time our grandchildren have with us really do make for life-time memories.<br /><br />Noble Pig, you are right about that. WE do not under-value the gift of knowing our children have confidence in leaving their precious children with us. I wish every child-care provider realized how much trust is involved in leaving a parents' most cherished person in their care...to look at child care that way just might be a key factor in providing the BEST care away from parents that can be offered.<br /><br />Farmgirl Cyn, you get to hold your grandbaby Trena on Sunday! Yay!!!! Yes, we have 5 Labrador retrievers and a Vizsla and they all love to get their little ( big) paws on any type of bird, so I don't have real bird things around the house and the real birds are behind bars in the sun-room. Miss Marple, our cat, is pretty sneaky about snatching my little sheep and teddy bears though, so I take the precaution of making sure they are un-obtainable to her!KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-87563678198409237352009-12-15T18:54:57.123-08:002009-12-15T18:54:57.123-08:00I love your centerpiece!

Our doofus Golden, Beau, found one of my vintage flocked bird ornaments which must have fallen off the tree, and when I found it, it was in itty bitty birdie pieces....all over the living room.<br />And your grandchildren are so adorable! I cannot wait to get my hands on our sweet grandbaby Trena! They will be flying in from Montana on Sunday!Farmgirl Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596602094024708943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-76185455778571956572009-12-15T15:55:18.375-08:002009-12-15T15:55:18.375-08:00What a great night, the kids will always remember ...What a great night, the kids will always remember the fun they had at your house.
