DOING THINGS FOR YOURSELF

HELLO EVERYONE,
WELL IT IS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. THE HOLIDAYS BRING OUT THE BEST OR THE WORST OF PEOPLE. WELL IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN ME..... I LOVE TO DECORATE I LOVE TO COOK, I LOVE TO BAKE AND I LOVE TO GIVE THE GIFT OF GIVING ESPEICALLY TO MY GRANDCHILDREN. THE WAY THEIR EYES LIGHT UP WHEN THEY OPEN UP THEIR GIFTS. IT BRINGS SO MUCH JOY TO MY HEART. MY GRANDSONS LOVE THEIR PRESENTS. THEY OPEN THEM UP IN A FASHION WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BY MANY. THE PAPER FLYING AROUND THE ROOM FIGHTING TO BE THE HIGHEST IN THE SKY. THEN THEY FIGHT WHAT GAME OR WHAT GIFT TO PLAY WITH FIRST. NOW THE GIRLS AREN'T TOO BAD, BEING THEY ARE ALITTLE OLDER AND LOVE THE GIVING OF CLOTHING. MY GRAND-DAUGHTER K.T. LOVES CLOTHES AND GIFT CERT. FOR GAS FOR HER CAR.

NOW MY GREAT GRAND-DAUGHTER LOVES ANYTHING SHE GETS... THE OTHER DAY SHE GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER AND SHE SAID TO MY DAUGHTER, GRANDMA THIS CAR SEAT SUCKS CAN'T YOU GET ME A NEW ONE? SHE IS ONLY 2 GOING ON 30. SHE KNOWS ALL HER ABC'S AND KNOWS ALL OF THE STATES AND CAN TELL YOU THE STATES BY POINTING TO EACH ONE AND SAYING THAT STATE IS OHIO OR THAT STATE IS VERMONT. SHE IS SO SMART. THEN THERE IS NICKY WHO LOVES ANYTHING SPORTS. HIS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE CINN. BEGALS AND THE CLEVELAND INDIANS... SO HE REALLY GETS INTO SPORTS. THEN JACOB LOVES TO BUILD. HE WILL BUILD ANYTHING BY THE PICTURE. JUST STARTING TO READ HE IS 7. AND ZACH WELL ZACH IS STILL IN THAT DORA STAGE OR ANYTHING SOFT OR CUDDLELY... AND LIZZIE LIZARD SHE KINDA LIKES TO BAKE AND LOVES BAKING STUFF AND CDS
K.T. LOVES ANYTHING AND WANTS MOSTLY MONEY THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE GAS PRICES AND SHE WANTS A LAP TOP. SO MY GIFTS WILL BE IN THAT FORMAT FOR THE CHILDREN. FOR MY KIDS, WELL THEY TAKE WHATEVER I GIVE THEM... AND USUALLY IT IS TOO MUCH BUT I LOVE TO GIVE THEM PRESENTS. NEVER TOO OLD TO HAVE SANTA COME TO YOUR HOME. RIGHT? WELL JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF MY HOLIDAYS CHORES... THEY AREN'T REALLY CHORES I ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY
GOD BLESS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS
CHRISTMAS HUGS AND KISSES,
JOANNE
