Alia had a sleep over with me last night. Right next to me. When she woke up this morning she said "Grandma, the sun is on!" It was time to get up and fix breakfast. Oh, I love that little girl. She makes me so happy!
When I took Alia home, I spent a few minutes playing with Ben. I walked him to the Christmas tree located in the corner of the living room by the large picture window. I pointed at balls and bells and said their names.
Grandma - "bell"
Ben - "bell!"
He said it as clear as a bell! Yeah for Ben! That was worth a round of applause!

Audrey and I went shopping today. For Christmas! We shopped, ate lunch, shopped, ate dinner, shopped again. Our last stop was at Tory R Us. Ben squealed with delight and sang along with his jammin' guitar and microphone. He couldn't take his hands off them, but finally succumbed to sleep. Lullabye...

Ben turned 1 year old today! Audrey gave him a Farm Birthday Party. Cowboy Ben stole the stage! Audrey made him a cake with New Holland tractors on it. It was so cute and it pleased his daddy! The kids decorated the paper table cloth with farm scenes. Ben did some posing in front of the farm scene of hay bales, barn doors, and cowboy stuff. Grandma and grandpa's present to Ben was a farm to play with. By the time it was time for cake, Ben was ready to go to bed. The cake did not interest him too much..... but the jammies sure brought a big smile to his face! I sure love this little guy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY COWBOY BEN!

Audrey and I were in Ben's room today. He was standing up to his bouncing chair. We caught a big grin from him and he let go! .... standing for a fraction of a second and falling back, fully trusting that mommy would catch him. He showed off his new found skill several times. What a little Smarty Pants!
Audrey and I went to Kelsey's today and helped her with her sewing projects. On the way home the kiddos went to sleep in the van. I volunteered to sit with the kids while Audrey did some grocery shopping. It turned into an hour or so. The kids woke up and Alia kept herself busy doing all the things mommy said not to let her do...like push buttons, etc. I'm a grandma, what else can I say!
Alia got a hold of my camera and snapped 25 pictures in all. Thank goodness for digital! This is one of her very cute pictures.... Woody and Ben. Good job Alia!
