Adelle's treasure from her Great Grandma!

My Grandmother I've spoke of on here before, she is an exquisite lady, with such kindness and thoughtfulness, I feel honored to have such a Grandmother.

All of my children have been Blessed with a wonderful treasure made with love by their great Grandmother. It is so neat that even with the shear volume of kids that my sister and I have, she has always taken the time to handmake a beautiful quilt for each one. No two are alike but all are beautiful.  

Adelle got a beautiful patch quilt with sweet little animals stitched on it

every time I have layed or covered my babies with these blankets I am reminded of the wonderful lady who made them

I can't wait to tell my grandkids about the "Great grandma blankets" as I wrap or cover them in them as well

each beautiful blanket will be safely stored for their children to treasure as well

Adelle definitely approves

this is also the really cute outfit she sent also, it has a under onsie that says "apple of Mommy's eye" and a little bib that matches.

Also if you remember back to my "box from Grandma" blog we got a really cool pocket potholder that I said I feared I would never see because the kids loved it. Well no fear thanks to my Grandmother we now have enough to share :)  - Alysabelle walks around with a potholder pocket complete with a  pacifier tucked inside. so cute!!   A very special Thank you to my Grandma Joanne Ridge for being a lovely lady both inside and out.

plays / musicals in November

In November we were lucky enough to have attend two amazing plays / musicals

The 1st was entitled "Little Mary Sunshine" It was SO Great !

I only brought Gabrielle and ofcorse the baby because it was 3 hour long, 15min. was an intermission

we met The Ferrens there, and enjoyed every minute of the entire play.

It was put on by the local homeschool drama, I was so impressed at how well done this was, the voices, songs, props... etc. were all so well done, Gabrielle can't wait to be old enough to join ( this pic is og Gabrielle, Little Mary Sunshine, Emma, and Annabelle) 

The play was from 7-10 by the time we got home everyone was sound to sleep, in the coolest sheet tent ever

made with love by the best Daddy ever :)

These are pics from a second musical we attended

it was a few days later,  It was entitled "Thoroughly Modern Milly"

the local college put this one on, we again met the Ferrens :) love them! (this is two actresses and Gabrielle and Emma) This was also an amazing play!
