PINK SATURDAY...Visions of SugarPlums dance thru my head.....

GOOD MORNING to all my GRAMMYS friends...especially you girls over at PINK Saturdays...
Where our friend Beverly hosts a PINK PARTY every week....
This week Beverly asked for everyone to share their favorite Christmas Holiday Decor...and Grammy says there is nothing better to look at this year than ME!

When Grammy got the camera out this morning...I thought for sure she would take a picture of our tree....or of the stockings...or the Gingerbread Garland hung in the kitchen....but no not my GRAMMY...there I was...awake waiting for her...time to say HELLO to all the Pink Saturday girls!

Morning Girls....A little wave from ME...Jalina Rose

My Grammy told me a story the other night...something about Santa...we call him HO-HO here...but she told me that when I go to sleep and wait for this HO-HO fella that I would have "Visions of Sugarplums" dancing in my head...and when I woke up this HO-HO would bring me presents!
And I love presents....like the BabyDear book I won here...and like the beautiful Pink Blankie that Ms. Shelia the Magpie won over at the Purple Goat Ladys Blog and sent to ME instead...and like the blankie my Moms friend Holly sent...and like the sweet tag Linnea sent!

GOSH...Thank You girls...not a wonder I love PINK SATURDAYS...and blogging with my GRAMMY! Grammy even told me that all you girls sent prayers and hugs for us !!!!!

MY GRAMMY says PINK SATURDAYS with Beverly and the girls is wonderful...and MY GRAMMY knows everything...well ALMOST everything...she did not know that when she gave me some Milk at 4AM that my Mommy had just fed me at 3AM..so I hope you girls can keep a secret....
Now that my lil' tummy is so full...And so my Grammy can visit all you girls at PINK SATURDAY via How Sweet The Sound...I think it is time for me to get back to this "Visions of Sugarplums" thing...and sweet dreams of all my friends...and waiting for this Ho-Ho fella....

So nighty-night girls...sleep tight girls...and may Visions of Sugarplums...Dance thru YOUR head!

The start of new Christmas memories........

Today for PINK SATURDAY our lovely hostess Beverly asked us to share childhood memories of holidays...as I try to begin this post my eyes flood with tears...I have so many memories to share...
I have not been posting much as my Mom is in the hospital...that along with our Jalina Rose and all the Christmas Decorating I have had to re-schedule I have been very busy......
But my heart flutters as we begin new Christmas memories at our house....
My first Christmas as a Grammy...sigh.....
My daughters first Christmas as a Mommy......sigh........
The first Christmas season of our sweet angel Jalina Rose........
There is truly nothing I can ask for more from Santa....and from the Christ Child...he has gifted us...
So our childhood memories begin a new start here.......a chance to share with Jalina Rose....

Of course she may not be able to decide where to hide the Santas Key....my girls always knew exactly where to hide it so the elves would find it to unlock the door for Ol' Santa himself.....

And oh my Sweet Jalina Rose...will you know to put your shoes out ( yes the "biggest pair you own") for St. Nicholas to fill...and how will he ever fit all the goodies in your size zero MaryJanes?

Jalina Rose will you awake this Christmas morning to the sounds of Santa ringing his sleigh bells? Will that be your clue like it was for Mommy and your Auntie that Santa indeed has arrived?

Auntie Jen knows that if you listen closey on Christmas morning that you can hear the elves sneaking in the mailbox ...shhhhhh.....Grammy has hid that Magic Key for you.....

Jalina will you look at us someday with big tears in your eyes? Big tears not because someone at school told you that there really is NO Santa...but big tears just like your Mommy had so many years ago...because she was so upset that her Mommy had lied to her for years?

Really Jalina Rose...there is a Santa Claus...he lives in your heart...he is the spirit of giving.....
He is the spirit of sharing....he is love........

Jalina Rose...You are love...you are the beginning of new memories....you have touched our heart...you have given us new meaning in our lives...you are love!

You Jalina Rose are a reason to believe...a reason to believe in miracles...as you truly are a gift...

And remember...no matter what Auntie and your Mommy tell you....Peeking in packages....just unwrapping a little corner is not acceptable...th elves will know.....and so will GRAMMY!

Merry First Chritmas to my sweet first Grandchild....Let the memories and the Magic of Christmas begin...XOXO...GRAMMY!

Girls...please say a prayer for my Mom...and please stop over at How Sweet the Sound.....
