We wish we could clone ourselves. With our three kids and their families living in three different states, it is hard to spend the same holidays with each of them, so we have to pick and choose and rotate the special times.
Now if we could clone ourselves into three of us, we could spend all the holidays with all the kids at the same time. Alas, that is not to be. Plus, it is hard enough to put diesel fuel in one motorhome, let alone three…
Our solution is to celebrate the holidays, like Christmas, when we’re with whatever family at when we can be here. We’ve had Christmas for son Ryan and DIL Amber and their girls here at their home in Pennsylvania.
Marti worked hard and made dresses for the older girls, Taylor and Kierra on the sewing machine here in the Journey. I was amazed at how she got all the pieces sewed together into beautiful dresses. She also made a little matching dress for a doll we bought each girl.
The girls loved the dresses and they fit like gloves.
The girls had fun tearing into their packages, like all kids do.
Little Rebekah needed a bit of help from mom, Amber.
She had a ball with her new toys.
Marti loves crafts as do the girls, so they worked on building a gingerbread house.
We’ve enjoyed sharing “Christmas” with our granddaughters. We’re glad to be able to travel and have time to visit the kids. Full time RVing is a blessing and we’re sure enjoying it!
Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave a comment.

ReplyDeleteGirls Dresses
Christmas in November ... and a merry one it was.
ReplyDeleteThose dresses are just adorable and so are those sweet grand-daughters. It's not about the date, it's about the memories you make when you are together:o)) How lucky we are to be able to get to see our grandchildren!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe dresses are so cute! Good idea to make matching ones for dolls! Enjoy your time with family!
ReplyDeleteI love those dresses! I bet they like having Christmas early with you guys.
ReplyDeleteDarling little dresses! It's good that you and Marti can share the special time with your special people. These are wonderful memories in the making that none will forget.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas for the first time this year!!..cute dresses for girls! Marti is so crafty!!

ReplyDeleteHow cute! Marti did a great job on those dresses. I've never done a gingerbread house but it sure looks like fun :)
ReplyDeleteSure wish I'd had a grandma like you Marti! Lucky are your grandchildren to have you both.
ReplyDeleteThe key is to have four clones and the send the last pair back to work. I like the ideal of having Christmas whenever you are in town. Soon your kids will put up the Xmas tree whenever you visit.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. I am not a full timer, I am not even a timer at all, but I love to read about your adventures. I have 7 1/2 grandchildren and I know how it is to enjoy spending time with them. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYour grandkids are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat an accompished seamstress you are. The girls dresses are adorable. I especially like the colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! The girls looked thrilled with their gifts.
