It's My Birthday!!

Today is my birthday and I am spending it the best way ever at this time in my life!

With my kids and grandkids!!!

Here I am with my new granddaughter who will be 4 weeks on Saturday! I am getting as much cuddle time as I can while we are here with my son's family in Florida.

My daughter is here as well which also adds to the specialness of spending my day with my family.

Of course B-Daddy known as Poppa to the grandkids has to get some cuddle time in with Kaylyn too!

Even the dog senses his gentle soul and seeks some love as well.

 My daughter also known as Aunt Sara has her turn. 

We spend the days passing Kaylyn around! 

What fun!

Our older granddaughter at 4 years old is a little shy with us at first.

She warmed up to me on our first full day here.

We play a matching game with the blocks.

It is such a joy to hear her call me Grandma Nea!!

I am blessed to have hearing aids so that I can hear that.

It means a lot to me.

I did some grandma feeding and diapering as well.

I had forgotten how small those newborn bottoms are and her diapers are so small!

On our second full day Shaylee warms up to Poppa Ed.

What a thrill for Poppa to have both of his granddaughters in his arms!

Last year Shaylee did not give Poppa a hug until we were at the airport getting ready to leave.

Now we still have several days of hug time with our little girls.

And of course Helmi came along for the trip.

She would be very upset with us if I had left her home.

The plans for my special day include breakfast cooked by my son.

He claims his eggs are better than mine. :)

Then we need to shop for a shirt for B-Daddy.

I forgot to pack a few shirts for him. Oops!

So now we have no shirt to use for the family portrait we are going to get today as well.

I decided I wanted a family portrait of all of us.

Dinner will be at Cracker Barrel. 

Besides that I don't know what else is planned.

Just being together is the most important part anyway.
