My Favorite Granddaughter, My Only Granddaughter

March 2016

Easter is fast approaching. Only four more days. My husband and I are so looking forward to a visit with our favorite granddaughter who we have not seen since Christmas. At the age of 2 years and 2 months there are sure to be many changes that we certainly will notice since December. She looks so much older in her current photos, she is talking more clearly and is becoming more independent (if that is even possible)! She has a mind of her own and has been a very independent child from early on!

Those of you without grandchildren please bear with me. Hopefully those with grandchildren will understand when I tell you that MY grandchildren are the brightest, most creative, talented grandchildren ever! I don't even remember thinking my children were as bright as my three grandchildren. I know for a fact that some alien invaded the body of my father when he became a grandfather. There is no other explanation for the change in personality/behavior when he was around my children. That misbehavior that landed me in time out got a chuckle out of him when it was his grandchildren! Go figure!

Easter 2015

So here goes my latest tale about my very bright and creative granddaughter.... In the bathroom with her mother she sees a bag of cotton-balls which she is determined to have. Being told no she persists in her attempt to have a cotton-ball. Finally, her mother gives in and shows her one hoping to satisfy her curiosity. She wants another one and so is given a second cotton-ball. At this point she jumps down and attempts to place one cotton-ball on the top of each foot and proudly announce to her mother that they are "Tinkbell" shoes! No stuffed bunny from Gramma and Grandad this year! She instead is getting a Tinkbell dress-up costume. I couldn't find the Tinkerbell plush doll I saw online and do not have time to order it before our Easter visit so I thought a dress-up costume might have to do.

1st Easter 2014

So while most children might be thinking of soft little bunnies there is one little girl who will be dressing up like Tinkerbell. Possible photo in a later post. Not to leave out my grandsons, I will post more about them later as well.





While bunnies, baby chicks and Easter eggs are fun and festive let's not forget the most important reason for this time of year. As Christians we will remember Christ's death, burial and resurrection this Easter Sunday morning. Because of this one selfless act we are able to claim victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ.

Blessings to all this Resurrection Day!
