18.

You know when you hear other Gma's and Gpa's say
"we have the most beautiful grandkids in the world"
?
Well, for christmas this year I was Santa's Elf.
and I worked behind the scenes to capture a picture of every grandchild in my family.
they were blown up BIG for every family to hang on their walls.
In return I secretly made extra prints for the grandparents to hang 18 beautiful b&w pictures on their wall.
18 beautiful, unique, smart, talented, happy grandchildren OF their very own! :)
.
I have to say As I took the time over the last few months to do this and I would edit each one I would think about EACH child and think how lucky our family is.
and How lucky each one of my sisters ARE!!
soooo....Im shareing.

What I love about my mom and dad is that they have took the time to bond a special relationship with EACH grandchild...ie. cousins kamp, christmas cousin sleepover...
and for that each child will be blessed with strength in their life.
It will be FUN to see where life takes them all.
The end.

My goodness Annie, I am kind of speechless seeing your mothers grandchildren and how lucky she has you to capture those moments so that they (your parents of course) can hang them on their wall to enjoy all day long...i know they love them more than anything and want the best for them that life can offer.
What good efforts you have accomplished here!
Hope you start feeling better, mothers can only be sick 24 hours and I am sure you have surpassed that.
This morning I found a BIG HEART in magic marker on my carpet, tended 4 year old granddaughter new years eve...seems she left us a present!
I showed Carl, he laughed, ha, he was thinking Oh I can fix that and I laughed cause I was thinking great new carpet!
lets see!
Hope he messes it up worse fixing it...right!

Annie, I am in awe of your talent! But I'm in almost as much awe at what beautimus grandkids your mom and dad have. I smiled at every picture...they are gorgeous! They all seem to have a Dave-n-Dix stamp on them somehow! You're a good daughter for providing them with a gift that will keep on giving for a long, long time. Love your blog! Leslie
