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.....
Jane, this is precious beyond words! That is one very blessed baby to have you as her Grammy! I just said a prayer for your mother. Hope she is doing much better.
ReplyDeleteI adore these pics!
Love to you and Happy PS!
XO,

On this first Saturday of December ♥Jappy Pink Saturday♥. I was away for a while and sure missed running around the blogs arnd seeing all of the goodies everyone was sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memory...now that you have a grandchild you have ALL of the happiness and Christmas anyone needs - take it from one very happy grandmother!
It was a blessing for you to make my morning so much fun. Hoping that you and those you care about spend a wonderful weekend making memories that will last a lifetime☺
Jane honey...you just wrote your very first love letter to your grandbaby. It was so sweet and beautiful. Your heart is overflowing with love for that little girl.
ReplyDeleteMay this Christmastide be wonderful for you all. Blessings!
Jane, Oh this post is so very special. Jalina is lucky to have you as a grandmother. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Hugs and much love to you. What a bittersweet time for you.

Jane, I hope your mom's health will turn the corner and she will start to mend before Christmas - no time is a good time for sickness in a famiy, but Christmas is so very hard --
ReplyDeleteJalina just looks so precious! And more precious is the love you bear for her. I love the traditions you had in your family, and really, you are so right, sharing them with Jalina makes it a million times more fun than just remembering -- making the new memories with a grandbaby, could there be a greater delight?
Ah, Jane. I have tears of joy rolling down my cheeks. Your little Jalina Rose is absolutely exquisite. And, how blessed she is to have made it to your family so filled with love for her and each other.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. I'll keep your mother in my prayers.
Oh gosh Jane, This Christmas will be like none other for you with that precious babe. Oh what joy God does give us! Merry Christmas and I sure hope your Mom does well. Mollye
