HI ALL! Well, sometimes it takes Grandma’s a while to get those birthday presents to the grandkids, especially when they live soooooooo doggone far away! Such is the case with Grandma TaTa getting this year’s birthday presents to Shawnna and Drew. Actually, I didn’t do too bad with Drew, but I’m sure Shawnna had long thought she wasn’t getting anything from Grandma TaTa for her 7th Birthday (her 8th is right around the corner) – Anyway, I finally got the ‘Toys-R-Us’ gift certificates in the mail and you can see by their faces, they're happy about it and probably wondering when they can get mom and dad to take them to Toys-R-Us to spend those gifts!

The same goes for Jocelyn’s children, only really even more extreme. The time and cost for postage all the way to Luxembourg can be daunting, so Grandma Cass seems to take even longer to get the presents to the Dufforts. Thankfully Patrice was in the states the last two weeks on business and was willing to fill his second suitcase with b-day presents for the kids, which means they'll get to open their ‘birthday presents’ before their ‘Christmas presents’ – YEAH!! And I know one little munchkin that is really happy that her birthday present is FINALLY ON THE WAY HOME! Hope you enjoy Margot and hope Mom takes pics of all the kid’s expressions when they get to FINALLY open their birthday presents.

I love all my grandchildren and wish they all lived closer so I could hand those birthday gifts to them and watch them open them and make wonderful memories of the excitement and smiles of those moments! Oh, well, the life of a GRANDMA!!

Love you all,
Grandma TaTa / Grandma Cass

PS - If you're wondering, that's Grandma Ginn's taco casserole for dinner. Made my mouth water - YUMMMMMMEEEEE!!
