I Would Like To Introduce You All To ~ ~ ~

In my last post I shared with you our Christmas with our children and wee ones.  I suggested we go in order of age, thinking we'd start with Mom and Dad, since we had received ours via Internet - That's when Elise surprised Grandma and Grandpa with a gift of her own.  She did this without anyone knowing what she was doing - locked away in her bedroom.

Before I realized what was going on, she gave Grandpa a hand drawn picture and a visor  "i'm a #1 grandpa!" with strict instructions how to hang it properly.

And, without missing a beat, she picked up a box, handled it ever so gently and put it down in front of me.  With an "Oh c**p" look on my face, I looked straight at my son and said, "Uh, what's in the box?"  See why???


Air holes in the top of the box!!!

"Oh, this is not a kitten?"  Again, I get a shrug from my kids, professing not to know what is in the box.  Now, I'm getting nervous - Mom's allergic to cats, and she's not sneezing, it's not whining so it's not a puppy - the only other time I've seen this is when Albert's younger brother - 30 years ago - stored a box just like this one, under Albert's bed - in it ? ? ?  A snake! ! !  OK, they wouldn't give me a snake, Mom hates frogs, I HATE LIZARDS, maybe it's a turtle!!!  That'd be cute, right?  I went to shake the box - "NO!!  You have to open it like this, gently ~"

Guess what it is??

 

This, dear ones, is Rocksey!  My new pet!  She has two pretty pink bows in her hair holding up those pony tails! 

This cute little pet came with instructions - because after all, YOU cannot adopt a pet without instructions AND you also have RULES because the adopting agency, Elise, wants to make sure you do what you are supposed to do!  And, I had to sign for her!

So, my little Rocksey has been introduced to all of you in blogland, and I want you to know I take my responsibility very seriously.  As instructed, she was fed 5 leaves, covered with her hand made quilt and put to bed in her nest!

            
I would like to thank you all for indulging me my Christmas time with family.  These little ones are so precious to us.  And, while I have crafts and sewing I'm sure you'd rather see, these little ones love come visit my blog and see what I'm talking to all of you about!  I'm sure you'll all agree, we have a future craft master, a Martha Stewart, in the making.  She did this without anyone knowing, no help at all, she just thought this would be something we would enjoy.

Elise, my sweetie, we will treasure these gifts forever!  I promise to feed Rocksey and cover her each night!  Oh, and she told me she's looking forward to your next visit!  Love you!!

Blessings to all, and to all, Happy New Year!
