A Day With Steph and Pierce

What a fun day!  It was so great seeing the kids again.  We spent the afternoon just yakking, catching up with their lives, them listening to stories about the old days, eating and opening presents, of course.










Maggie had fun, too.  She got two new baby tennis balls! She couldn't decide which one to play with and wore herself out chasing both of them. 





From the time Stephanie was about three until after she went away to college we had "cookie day" at our house the week before Christmas. Grandma and grandkids made Christmas cookies while Dad and Grandpa put the Christmas tree up and ate cookies!  We enjoyed it as much, if not more, than Christmas! For my present this year Stephanie made me a wreath made of Christmas cookie cutters.  So special! I will treasure it always! 



We were able to FaceTime with Pam and Ben in Colorado this afternoon.  Steph and Pam are so alike and they just have so much fun together, it just makes me smile.  We hope we will connect with Mike, Erica and Tony the same way tonight.  





Happy Christmas Eve!

  1. I love it! Looks like Stephanie & Pierce had a good time. F course maggie looks like she received some attention too. I love the wreath, that was so thoughtful.
    We're trying to have a cookie baking day here too but it's really hard since Andrew doesn't like to have sweets in the house. Kinsey likes to help but loses interest quickly.

    Love you both,
    Pam
