My sweet Grandma turns 80 this month although she looks 60 and acts 40. I am SO THANKFUL I have had so many wonderful Christmas memories with her.

Charleigh and her "pink saddle pad". Santa threw in a pink whip, since she lost her's in Uncle Alan's pasture.


Ahhhhh Chapstick.

Ben doing one of his many Christmas jobs of getting all of those toys out of the packages.


The "shared present" We got these many times growing up, usually is has 2 of the same or similar gifts and they each get one. In this case it was fuzzy blankets from Grandma and Grandpa. Charleigh is like her Momma and needs to have a warm fuzzy blanket to cuddle up to. To do it right you skip the flat sheet that way you can feel the soft aganist your skin.

These horses were a hit! Every kid took a ride on them. They led them around the house, trick rode, watched T.v on them etc....... Ada kept giving hers a hug and kiss.

Clementine's shirt from Charleigh. Charleigh drew her name in the gift exchange.

Adalyn was so cute opening presents, she would squeal with happiness when she got another one to open. She played with each present before opening another.


She has slept with this horse every night since she got him from Granny.
