Dance like nobody's watching~

When you are 3 years old, everything is magical. Like Christmas trees, and lights, and ornaments, and mirrors.  We took our little granddaughter to Anthropologie to see the Christmas decorations there and this is what happened~

~in her own little world

she thought no one was watching~

(if you are reading this from an Apple mobile device,

the video won't load- that's just crazy!)

and then she found the Christmas tree~

Did I tell you that she is a Princess?

Oh yes, and--- a Diva.

Her Mommy made her little rag tag tutu,

which she insisted on wearing when we left the house-

along with her new cowboy boots.  

Oh, and she wanted to wear her tiera too --

but somehow we managed to get out of the house

without it!

~there's something so very special

about watching a child discover all that is

 Christmas

it's nice to have your Papaw

help you reach the really tall ones~

Proof that she really IS a princess.

(Keri Beth and her baby sister Kadence.)

ALL of our babes

are growing and changing SO fast.

This past year has been a blur for me

and I've been remiss on my

"grandma" picture postings.

So just wait!

(lots more to come!)

My holiday wish for you all~

As this magical new holiday season begins,

I hope that you can all enjoy these special times

through the eyes of those you love,

 and appreciate the truest beauty

of the season. 

Love,

Vicki

ps~

To all of you who so kindly emailed me to say thanks for the photographs of your pink scarves, I think I have finally answered all of your beautiful emails.  Your words and thoughtfulness have meant so very much to me.  You know, I could start to get gushy here~~

A favor for a friend~

My friend Karen whose blog is Todolwen, has asked me to share some updates for her~~ while attempting to change the URL of her blog, she accidentally deleted it!  If you were a follower of Karen's blog and have noticed that she is gone -- you can now find her here at her new blog location!

AND finally~~

if you still have Christmas shopping to do~

(or maybe something special for Yourself!)
