Candy canes


Ingrid helped me finish trimming the tree yesterday. I had hung most of the ornaments, but saved a few, plus the candy canes, just for her. She will be 3 in three months and it took me back to when I was her age and the times we kids spent with grandma Dawn. My favorite memory is when my older sis and my two cousins and I ..all girls, would sit in her living room, each in what seemed an enormous chair at the time, and she would ask us about our babies. She talked to us as if we were as old as she and it was as if we truly had our own little ones.
She died not long after my third birthday, but those memories are ever so clear still.
I hope my little ones will take with them a few special memories that last them a lifetime.
