Happy Birthday!

Twenty-six years ago today my beautiful Amanda was born.

She is smart and full of it of life!  Creative and fun-loving, she also has a big heart.  I couldn't be more proud and honored to have her as my daughter and friend.

Have a wonderful day, Sweetie!  I wish I was there to bake you a cake, or maybe some bruchetta....;)

I love you.

I had such a great time with my grandkids.  It was truly a blessing to be able to spend so much time with them in November and December.  I really can't wait to go back!  In case you can't tell--they pretty much hung the moon! 

Have to say, they definitely kept me busy.  I had to gaze into little Edie's eyes all day long, because she has a corner on the cuteness market.  She really is the sweetest and fun baby! 

(This picture doesn't do her justice.  She smiles and laughs all the time--except for the camera!)

Judy is growing so fast and really loves being a big sister.  She hates getting up in the morning (just like someone else we know!) but hates to miss her school.  I hope that she feels that way about her classes when she gets older. 

I want to be a good and positive influence for these two.  I also want to be a fun grandmother, and look forward to having them stay over during summers and anytime I can talk them into to spending time with Grama Mikki.

What's not to love?

(I see the look of a mad sugar rush about to happen! LOL!)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go brush up on my cookie recipes!  ;)
