I have two grandsons now - one is nine years old and the other is 2 months. They are so cute!
Anyway - this little nine year old monkey - do you know what he did?
Under our tree this year we had lots of wrapped gifts for him and one each for the rest of us. He must have felt bad because little by little there were more and more wrapped gifts under the tree for others.
We figured he was wrapping some of his things for us to unwrap Christmas day. We didn't say anything - we just joked between ourselves that we'll just open them on Christmas day and then we'll put them back later.
Christmas morning we came down stairs. We started to open our gifts - GS wanted us to open ours before he did his. So I went first. My first gift from him - was not one of his toys - it was one of my own MISSING ITEMS!
I had a stapler that had been missing for a couple of weeks. Then the second gift was my scissors! I had looked for these things for such a long time!!!!!!!!! It was so cute.
The gifts were perfect and just what I wanted! In fact - I had them - lost them - wanted to find them - then received them back for Christmas.
My daughter received her hand lotion back so thought I had moved. And hubby got a WI game he hadn't played for a long time.
It was so cute - it'll never work again, but he did work this time.
And I didn't have to question my sanity any more - just for the moment anyway!
Now look at my new little one - just starting out to learn the world!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
SANDIE
Cheers to a new year and another chance to get things right - Oprah Winfrey.

Your new grandson is adorable. So glad that you've been blessed with two boys. Hope you'll get to see Will often enough to suit ya. It's murder when they live out of state.
Hope you're doing well, and getting stronger.
No wonder you're on cloud nine. Between both of those boys, you've got in made in the shade!...:)JP
I am rolling with laughter at your GS wrapping your own stuff for you!! He is just too cute and yes a little monkey! The new baby is so cute!!! Love that big stuffed animal! hugs, Linda
Funny story and cute grandsons. Oh that sweet baby!

Your new grandson is so adorable! That's such a cute picture of him with that big stuffed animal. :)
Hope you have a good week.
Oh, this story has been laughing out loud! I love the way Andy's mind works -- I'm thinking he may become sitcom writer some day? :)
What a funny story!!! But you all got what you wanted for Christmas!! Well, what's a financially strapped kid to do? The pictures are adorable!!
Oh my word - is that the sweetest thing ever or what??? What I just love is his spirit of giving - what a wonderful expression of generosity. Even if it might have been a little "misplaced" (Did you like that pun???) GROAN...
And your newest grandson is simply a "hug-package" -
Hope you're doing OK...
What a little pranster! That is funny! Your wee one is so precious...I love him looking toward the light...
That was indeed a delightful story. Just wait until he learns what horse biscuits are!
How precious is that?!! I know you had a wonderful Christmas with that kind of love and consideration! Have a great day, Sandie.
Love your story - and what a sweet baby!
Sandy....Your lil precious has surely put a new meaning to re-gifting! The memories and suprises he created for you all on Christmas morning were ...PRICELESS!

Bless Andy! He picked things he knew you'd like. The picture of the baby is sooo cute. Hope you're getting better every day. Hugs and healing wishes to you.
I think that's funny - and how sweet of him to want you guys to have something to unwrap as well...besides, a lot of time, most of the fun is in the anticipation and unwrapping, only in your case you guys really needed that stuff LOL
When my daughter became a teenager and more difficult to shop for, I used to take her clothes shopping for Christmas and she picked what she wanted, but I didn't give it to her. I kept it and wrapped it and with every package, she would smile and say: "Mom, how did you know? It's exactly what I always wanted" and it was a lot of fun and no trips to exchange anything...those were the good ole days!
What a thoughtful grandson Sandie - he's learned that it's good to give as well as receive. Sweet little baby too.
now why didn't I think of that?
So cute!
XO, Cheryl

Sandie you have a very special GS, one who is considerate and loving, it is so nice to see a child who is so full of love and concern for others, very rare in this "Me" age.
Hope you are ok, haven't heard from you in a couple of days, how is the knee coming?
