So, Grandma Rosie came for the birth of Eleanor and stayed for about 10 days. We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed her stay...it's never long enough though!
Since we don't get to go back to Indiana for Christmas, she brought Christmas to us. Travis and I were sent off for the day and the kids and her worked all day to prepare for our celebration. They went all out...food...decorations...and lots of love...
When we arrived home, we walked in to find this lovely tree all decked out with presents stacked up around it. You can't tell, but they have rocks, leafs, and other unique items stuck to it for decorations. Best of all, they used my stainless steel scratcher as tinsel...I needed a new one anyway :o)
They had the table all set up with an array of delicious treats...candles lit...it was just simply wonderful...it really felt like Christmas.
My favorite treat of all was the cracker toffee! Oh how I love cracker toffee!
Grandma also brought her equipment to make her famous "flaky jakes"...
And the lovely display of goodies and the gang that made them...what a sweet memory.
Here is Winston in his santa hat and collar (with bells) that Grandma brought him...she wouldn't dream of leaving him out of the festivities :o)
The rest of these pictures are just some miscellaneous shots...this one is of the girls painting and preparing the Christmas tree for our celebration.
