Wed., 12/17/25, Happy Birthday to Hailey! We love you so much! Went to Vikki’s to watch Kimmy and her make gnomes, knitted some, had yummy grilled cheese for lunch, Vikki brought me home

Happy 22nd Birthday Hailey.  We love you so much!  You are an amazing granddaughter! We are so thankful God gave us you!

Kimmy and Vikki working on Gnomes for Vikki’s friend Diane, out of favorite sweaters of her mom’s who passed away last year.

They did a great job on them.  They turned out so cute.  

I helped Vikki scrape insides of letters out like e’s, a’s, u’s, o’s and p’s for Kimmy’s shirt for Tranquil Pottery Vikki is making her.  Fun watching Vikki make it and helping a tiny bit.

Eating my delicious cinnamon roll Hailey made and drinking the expresso she made me.  Thank you so much Hailey.  You made your birthday special for us too!

She called Aunt Vikki at the last minute and invited her to come so she could have a cinnamon roll!

Me and Hailey

We read our Bibles first thing.  Then Vikki called to see if I wanted to come over and watch her and Kimmy make gnomes and hang out for the day.  I got ready and  Bill drove me over.  It was a fun day watching them, spending time with Lucy the cutest doggie, knitting, walking lots to get my steps in and resting and putting my legs up when needed.  Fun talking to the girls and watching how talented they are and how well they work together.  Vikki used her Panini maker and made us delicious grilled sandwiches for lunch.  Yum! So good!  Thanks Vikki.  They worked until they finished the last gnome, then Kimmy had to leave to go to some stores.  I hung out at Vikki’s until it was time to pick up the kids.  We went to get them and I was so happy to get to see them.  They brought me home and I came in the front door which was easy.  It was in the 40’s so all the snow and ice was melted.  I did hang on to Vikki so I wouldn’t trip on the uneven brick sidewalk.  It’s not so uneven if you haven’t had hip surgery lol.  They left, and I rested for a while, then made sirloin burgers and potatoes in my new ninja pan in the oven.  Bill really liked it.  Me too.  We cleaned everything up after eating and then relaxed more.  Melissa, Bruce, Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan came over for Hailey’s Birthday.  She brought cinnamon rolls for us instead of cake (even better) and her expresso machine and made those of us who wanted some expresso’s.  They were so good.  We sang to her and celebrated her.  She is so loved and so special.  She realized she lost her gold necklace which was a gift from her Nana Brenda.  I prayed right away that God would show her where it was and help her find it.  It was a $300 necklace.  She had been all over for her birthday freebies and also shopping today.  We got up from the table and went over by the expresso machine and I was asking her what I could do to help, when I saw something sparkling on the floor.  It was her necklace.  Praise the Lord.  We were all so happy.  What a great birthday gift from the Lord to her!  We sure were thanking Jesus.  I put it on her.  She was so happy!  That made her birthday just that much better.  We all had fun hanging out together, enjoying those cinnamon rolls and expressos.  Vikki was so happy to be here and we were all happy to have her.  Bill and I got Hailey a curling iron she wanted for her birthday.  Vikki did her hair and taught her how to use it on really long hair.  Her hair looked beautiful.  Evan scrubbed my basement steps for me and also vacuumed all around my plants in the family room.  Leaves and blossoms are falling off some plants.  It’s so nice to have them cleaned up.  He did under the edges of my kitchen cupboards for me too.  

Everyone left after 10.  It was a fun family night.  Everyone helped clean up afterwards too.  

Now it’s midnight and I’m ready for night night.
