Josie has shared statements regarding her grandmother's death that I need to record, before I forget them.
"Nana is like Santa Claus now. She's watching everything we do, so we had better be good all the time."
"Angels are really small because there are so many of them in heaven."
"Nana has already made lots of new friends in heaven and she is going to teach them how to play UNO."
It's been really touching watching the girls process their grandmother's death. I know this holiday season is going to be especially difficult and I want to try and start getting back into some normal Christmas routines/traditions again. Thank you again for all your support and well wishes.
Because I'm soooooooo ready to be in the Christmas spirit, check back this Saturday when I've had a chance to organize a few of my favorite Christmas crafts and vintage goodies. I'm planning on a Christmas give-away.
Update...
It snowed last night. I think Chris's mom knew we needed a little Christmas cheer.
XOXO

I have been thinking about you guys. Emma was so sweet and brave to do that, I don't know if I could. Sweet comments by Josie, little process things in their own way.
Your girls are the sweetest. It sounds like you had such a nice celebration of life for Nana.
Sending hugs and prayers your way.
Thanks for letting us know how you all are doing. I've been thinking fondly of all of you.

Oh, Kim, I'm just catching up on blog following with my crazy life of late. I am sorry about the loss of Chris's mom, but praise the LORD for the peace He is sending you.
Blessings from a snow-less south Georgia.

Your tree is beautiful Kim and so are those girls of yours, so sweet that you are writting down their thoughts....I know they miss their Nana too. I'm praying that God's peace and love showers you and your sweet family today and always. I'll be thinking about you all.
Big hugs,

I've been thinking of you and your family, Kim. I love what Josie said about her Grandma. Sending you a big hug, take care!
I am so sorry to have missed your blog this week - Josie's comments are so sweet and the gift of snow is so special.
Kim,
Glad to hear from you and I do understand how difficult this holiday will be but you are so right in that the girls will need to go back to some sense of normalcy in their lives. And I am sure that your MIL would have wanted the girls and the rest of your family to have a wonderful Christmas.
Hugs,
Debbie
