The Grandchildren

One of the many blessing the holiday season brings is Grandchildren. It has been such a joy (even with the crying) to have the grandchildren here. Oh yes, it's a joy to have the children here too. Josh and Hayley will be here from her parents the day after Christmas.

The dad's holding their kids.
Grandma has had a great time holding and bonding with them.
Even Bella and Tyler bonded as they held hands on a blanket.
It's been a family tradition to give homemade strawberry jam with rolls as gifts. This year everyone helped. Many hands made it happen much faster and was fun to be together.
Even Kate helped - though we're not sure what she was doing except holding and moving jars in and out of thebox. But we all helped and had fun.

It's been a wonderful time. Hard to image how this could be as we aren't old enough to have grandchildre - or at least don't feel that old. But wouldn't want it any other way. The kids are doing a great job raising fantastic kids! We are proud of them.
