Last Saturday I got the grandbaby for the night so Mommy and Daddy could celebrate their 11th anniversary. Wow the time does go by fast. I also need to stop calling her a baby. She is such a big girl these days.

We had so much fun while she was here. They brought the wonderul pink dollhouse that Santa brought her so we were able to play with that. I would arrange the furniture it and she would change it all. Just like her mother did to me when she was little. I would wait for Missy to go to bed at night then I would fix up the dollhouse. When she got up in the morning she would change it all around again. I finally gave up and let the bathroom be in the living room. :-)

It really is a nice dollhouse. She got an assortment of dolls to go with the house. She got a Grammy G doll and a Serif doll. We had so much fun playing with our dolls. Mommy doll went to work and Daddy doll sat at the kitchen table and ate pizza a lot but Grammy G and Serif got to play together and kiss and hug.
Here she is all dressed up in her princess jewelry. Isn't she beautiful? It's hard to tell her but she did put on makeup too.

We also had fun getting under the blanket on the sofa and pretending to hide. While under there I told her to tell me a story. She has such a great imagination. I got to hear all about pirates. Boy pirates and girl pirates and all the things they were doing. She talked for so long. She and I love to laugh and talk while we "hide". It's one of our special games.

Mommy and Daddy got there the next morning and we all went to do our grocery shopping and running around. I guess their celebration and the store wore them out. I know that Serif stayed up too late at my house but that part of the fun isn't it?
We had so much fun. I can't wait to do it again.

This week has been hard on me. I haven't had a full day of work in a couple of weeks and I can tell it. It's been hard getting out of bed in the mornings. I am counting the days until Saturday and sleeping in.

Tom is due in today for a visit. It's been a little over 4 months since he moved to Alaska but it seems like forever. I can't wait to see him and give him a big hug. It was so hard having him gone for the holidays. It just wasn't the same. We did send him a care package with presents but it's not like having him here with us. I'm sure I will have lots of pictures from his visit to share.
