Hello, Dear Ones!
The real reason we went to New York was to see our grandbabies!
Little Camp and Carter.
Camp had grown so much and was making eye contact with us.
Then this little precious!
Forgive me as I have to be a bragging grandma! :)
My lovely daughter took us out for apple cider doughnuts!
Oh, my Lord! Yummy!
We took an entire suit case filled with presents for the grandbabies to have an early Christmas with them.
Carter was so cute and she 'helped' Camp open his presents too.
Girls gotta be girls.
This is Carter opening the little doll and carrier I made for her.
If you'd like to see it you can click here.
I made her the little purse that looks like a house and she turned it into her diaper bag.
It blessed my heart as she just loved the little homemade toys!
Little Camp was sleeping through most of the package opening.
Now he's ready to be Santa!
See the little red place on his little forehead? It's called a stork bite and hopefully it will fade as he gets older and if it doesn't it can be lazer removed. Praying it will fade.

Even in New York my kids fly the UT flag proudly!
Look at the snow!
There was snow on the ground while we were there but after we left it really snowed!
We were so fortunate to get home. The pilot told us our plane was the last flight out of the day ! all of the others were canceled. They deiced our plane and sprayed some green stuff on it and we were off. It was really a scary flight! Thank You Lord for keeping us safe.
And to all a good night! :)
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Christmas Is For Children
Just for children
Grown up's save
Santa's found the chimneyGrown up's save
That's for children
Like the reindeer
And the sleigh
That same tale is told
Every Christmas Eve again
We may think we're old
But our hearts can almost believe again
Christmas - is for children
But aren't we all children
Christmas day-ay-ay
That electric train
That no one could tempt papa with
Will someone explai-ain
Why it's all that papa will bother with
I guess Christmas - is for children
But aren't we all children
Christmas day..

Carter looks so much like her Grammy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb! you know how I love that.
DeleteBe a sweetie,

Sheila, do you have trouble flying??? I REALLY do. I hadn't flown in over 30 years because of my fear but 4 years ago got invited to a girls 4 days in Fl. and decided I was tired of missing the fun. SO, I got some drugs and went!!! It is still hard for me, even with the drugs but I go. Your little grands are so, so adorable!!!! Carter is growing so fast and she looks like YOU! Camp is a precious angel and I will pray the "stork bite" fades too. What a sweetheart!!! I am praying that this time next year I may be a Grandmom too. XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteCarter is so super precious, and Camp looks like such a sweet little one. It is wonderful to see your grandchildren enjoying the love and attention of their grandma. Have a wonderful week.... Candy
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Sheila! You have a beautiful family! Looks like you had a wonderful visit, glad you made it home safely!
ReplyDeleteHow great you got to visit with your family. The pictures are all precious. Champ and Carter are so sweet. I'm glad you're home safe. We've gotten a lot of snow up here and I know our storms have gone out to the East coast.
ReplyDeleteThey are so precious, Shelia. I'm glad y'all got to go out there and see your babies. Not often we see that much snow either.
ReplyDeleteYour grandkids are so cute, you simply MUST be a bragging grandma. How could you resist? Nice Carter liked what you made.
ReplyDeleteYour grands are so cute! You and your daughter are beautiful!!! I know you had the best trip visiting your family. Thanks for sharing your family photos. Y'all are a great-lookin' bunch!
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved seeing your with your beautiful grandchildren. They are so precious and I loved seeing all of the photos. You look so happy - and gorgeous, my dear friend. Four of our grandchildren are coming to spend tomorrow evening with us while their mommy and daddy go to a nearby Christmas dinner party. We are the real winners! This is the first time we've all four of our son's children on our own. Our littlest angel is just a bit over a year old - last year she attended the dinner party with her mommy and daddy. This year we get to enjoy her all to ourselves! Aren't we blessed?

What a beautiful family!!! The little ones are so precious!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy that you had this special time with those precious grands, Shelia. Seeing the photo of 3 generations made me smile. What a darling photo of three beautiful gals.
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, your babies are so beautiful. That Carter looks like you and so does your daughter. Beautiful family. So glad that you were able to get home safe. Love the picture of you, your daughter and granddaughter - wow 3 generations.
ReplyDeleteMary
A fun and festive visit with your sweet family; love the photos of Carter and her gifts - that girl is on the move!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Sheila!
Merry Christmas!

Shelia- Those children are just darling. How very precious she is and you can see her personality now. Your little guy is just so sweet and his stork bite will most likely fade in time. If not- laser treatments work wonders. There is nothing that is more of a blessing than a healthy baby, is there?
ReplyDeleteI wish they lived closer to you -I know how hard it is to live far away from family- xo Diana
All so beautiful! They had a lot of snow there in NYC, glad that you got home safely. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the in front of the tree picture!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you to get to spend time with your precious little grands! They are both adorable! Carter looks like she is having so much fun, she is so cute! Camps sweet little face just needs lots of sugar, but I am sure that you gave him plenty while you were there. Glad that you are safely home now! That plane ride sounded a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteThose precious faces are all one needs to enjoy the holidays! So glad you were able to visit and return home safely. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteUna gran familia tienes, y unos nietos preciosos una gran bendición de Dios. Felices fiestas y que bueno estar en casa otra vez.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley! Thanks for popping in to see me and I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas!
DeleteBe a sweetie,
Shleia;)
Oh, what a fun time you've had with Carter and Camp! They are so cute. I'm glad you had a great Christmas visit with them and got home safely. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteMoments truly worth cherishing and travelling for! Glad you had great and happy memories of your visit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family, Shelia. I would want to be with them as much as I could. And marvelous photos of them all, too!
ReplyDeleteI've been following your NY trip on FB. So happy I came by this evening to see these photos. They are wonderful. Your grands are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Shelia, I know you are bustin' your buttons with your babies. Your Carter is your own little mini me. You have a gorgeous and blessed family.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous grandbabies, Shelia! It looks like you had a great time visiting. Glad you got home okay, too, what with all the wacky snow storms moving across the country. My daughter had a small stork bite on one of her eyelids when she was born and it did fade over time.
