Christmas Morning Gig with Grandma 08

Ali LOVES stuffed Animals - Mom does not Love stuffed animals so what does Ali ask Santa for, but the biggest stuffed animal that his elves can make, she adds in her letter (" make it big just to bug my Mom") That Santa gave Ali her wish in a BIG way. When we had our photo time with Grandma - Ali had to have big beary in ALL the pictures. I will have to have a long talk with Santa - I won't be caught kissing Santa underneath the mistletoe this year! We LOVE GRANDMA as you can see! She is more than wonderful.

A Sweet Christmas Tradition!

In our family we love Christmas Eve! One of the main reasons that this is the case is...... when my Dad passed away four years ago in August, the Jenkins family kidnaps or I guess Grandmanaps my Mom to spend the night Christmas Eve. Just like my Grandma Peay - She brings the kids a new pair of PJs that they get to open and wear that night. Will got dino pjs, brooke High school musical, and Ali - Hannah Montana -We gave Grandma a new pair of PJ's too. She also gives the kids a game. We played phase 10 (I won, but Grant gave me some real competition). We ate a yummy dinner and had lots of treats. We watched a Dvd of Christs life, weird elves came, a good time had by all. We always take a few photos Christmas morning with the kids - Grandma loves eating one of Alan's big breakfasts. We have such a good time.

Grandma Stubbs - A sweet heart, with a bad heart!

Bonnie Stubbs - AKA Grandma Stubbs has not been behaving! She got sick - the flu I think, this put her diabetes in a whirl, added to her kidney issues, and then to top it off -the frosting on the cake was a heart attack! She is grounded because - this started at night and she never called anyone. All of her kids live close, but she didn't want to bother anyone. In the morning - after being sick all night she put on a fresh coat of lip stick and told my sister-in-law who dropped by to use her computer that she thought that she was having a heart attack would she mind giving her a ride to the hospital. She is doing better now and we have her home from the hospital - she is still grounded and we kids are staying with her to make sure that she is behaving. Last Friday night the family went to Grandma's - we brought dinner, watched a movie and the girls and I spent the night. We had tons of fun.... making sure that she was being good. We are really glad to still have Grandma with us, it wasn't looking good for a while. We told her that if she saw a bright light - do not go towards it, that were not done with her.
