COOKIE BAKING AND MEMORY MAKING!

We (hubby and myself) spent a wonderful two days with our 3 oldest grandchildren - Joseph, 9; JoyAnn 6; Jesse 6, over the week-end.  So much to do,and so little time!  We had been working on some ornaments to give  to their Mom and Dad, as we were learning that it was "more blessed to give than to receive."  There was flour flyin', measuring cups rattling, laughter and more laughter as we proceeded to make decorated pressed cookies!  
Then on to decorating!



After a trip to see Christmas lights, it was on to baking Gingerbread Cookies!


And experimentation with lavender and lime icing......lol........loved it:)
After watching some Christmas t.v.and listening to Christmas carols, it was indeed a beautiful time together. We talked quite a bit about the true meaning of Christmas and you can believe they got lots of hugs and kisses while visiting.  I must say, they were pretty worn out by the time we took them home the next day. 
Their two little twin brothers,  Jonathan and James will turn one year old on the 20th.  There are  just some things a mother and grandmother cherish in their hearts.  Memories of the last time I saw my youngest son skipping to the bus and KNOWing that would be the last time he would skip.  Seeing my little James put his little fist into the air and,  after a little thought, point his tiny index finger up, indicating  he would be "1" soon!
So many memories, and so little time. And if, per chance I should lose those precious memories here on earth, I know my heavenly Father will hold them safe until I go to  be with Him.
