Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's

On Saturday, December 20, we celebrated Christmas at my dad's house along with Vicki, Grandma Hettig, April, and Zach. Gloria couldn't wait to show off her un-wrapping skills and quickly got to business opening up a xylophone and an Elmo remote.

Then, she spied one of my gifts - a small felt Santa bag with lotion and body wash inside. She kept trying to get the lotion out, but it was stuck in there. I took it out and she had fun carrying the purse around and putting her hand in and out of it. She has been playing with it a lot at home and even brought it with us today when we went to lunch and shopping.

"What's in there?"


"I think I need to sit down for this."


"Oooh! Lotion!"

After we had opened most of our presents, Gloria took a break.

"This is the life."


But she wasn't done! There was one last present and it was HUGE!

"What is it? A lawnmower?"


"Oooh! A big box!"


"My very own box!"


"It's the perfect size for me and Grandpa!"

(There were a few toys in there too -
a canister with a few shapes and some "drum sticks."
The box is staying at Grandpa's house.)

The biggest surprise of the day was for my dad and Vicki. Zach gave them a wooden bench that he built and engraved with their name. Not only did they like it, but Gloria thought it was quite comfy too!

"Just me and my Grandpa, hanging out."

God new what He was doing when he created babies for us to hold, hug and love. Such a special Christmas this was for Grandma Hettig with three great grandchildren and of course Gloria was the cutest little girl in her green and then red outfits.
Of course my grandchildren are all very special and I love you all.
GOD BLESS and A Happy New Year to you and your family.
Love, Grandma
