Wonderful Gifts

My dad drew these Princess pictures for our Princess for her birthday. I thought they turned out great. We are going to get them framed and hand them above her bed. Celia thought they were so prettyful. I thought I would go ahead and post a few of the other pictures that he has drawn for the kids.

Princess pictures for our birthday girl.

A couple of drawings for Conner. Conner is a huge history buff and loves military pictures.

My dad created this one himself for our dinosaur lover.

Happy Birthday????

Celia turned four years old on Thursday, but she also ended up with the stomach flu too. When she woke up in the morning she was in a great mood and very excited for her day, but about an hour later she began what would be almost three days of throwing up. Now it is Saturday, and it seems that she is done with the worst but does not have any energy to move. She is still happy that she has turned four and thrilled as we gradually have given her gifts.


Celia received her gift from Grandma Merry today and was very happy. She wanted to wear her new pretty pajamas that Grandma made her, but when she got up she immediately decided that she better lay back down. She decided just to put the nightgown over her like a blanket and said "that's better." Her birthday card sings "Under the Sea" which she really enjoys. When she got done listening to it the first time, she smiled and said, "that makes me very happy!" She is such a sweetie and we can't wait until she is back to normal.
