Grandma!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom came to visit at the beginning of December.   She was here for almost a WHOLE glorious week. 
We savored EVERY minute of it.

We shopped, cooked, watched TV, Liv got lots and lots of grammie cuddles, played games,

(notice who has to hold the poor little baby while she gets "poked")

talked, saw Christmas Lights, got ears pierced (Liv not me or my mom), made Christmas goodies........(and most importantly my mom got to witness our HORRID neighbors moving.  No more pit bulls!!!!!).

"If you think I'm ever letting go of her, you're CRAZY!" Said Little O.

 Chichasha Lights.  Next time I hope we're not in front of annoying hazard lights guy!

There is something about this picture that is so tender.  It makes me tear up every time I see it.  My mom is just so amazing and special.  There's nothing she loves more than her family.

I treasure these visits with my mom. My mom said she was worried that Olivia would look at her and cry when she first saw her. Ummmm, I can officially say Olivia is OBSESSED with her grammie. I don't think she let go of her the whole time she was here. And she couldn't take her eyes off of her. It was almost like she was saying, "I remember you from when I was born, why did you leave me with these two?????? I don't think she'll ever have to worry about any of her grand kids not remembering her. They all simply ADORE her.
Thanks for taking time out your busy life mom to come see us on the prairie. We're counting down the days until we get to see you again!
We LOVE you!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Now if only some aunties would come visit...Ahem!
