I am sorry as so many take so much for granted. And even a few are so undeserving to have children and neglect them. Happy New Year to you and the Mrs.

Regards, Mark

Don,

From one grandpa to another, congrats on the grandchild! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I don't recall, is this your first?

I finally got our Christmas picture of our 10 month old grandaughter. So obviously, I've attached it. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I look forward to trading pics of our grandchildren over the next few years Don. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

No, actually he's the third grandchild, just the first grandson. My daughter had two girls and was ready to quit, but they decided to throw the dice one last time for a boy -- and they won! My son is still single at age 33, and I despair of ever seeing a grandchild from that direction...

Here's my Granddaughters on Christmas morning. Zoe is 4 and Erin is 2. The Santa has a microphone hookup, and I was behind it, talking to them. As my amplified voice came from Santa, his head and mouth moved. The girls were absolutely captivated, and the adults were almost convulsing with laughter. It was the best Christmas I've ever had. The animated Santa was actually my present -- I've never lost my love for toys.

My daughter, Amy, is looking on, and if you look closely you can see Aidan being held by his Aunt Katie, my son-in-law's sister.

This was also taken Christmas morning, as my son, Adam, took his nieces for a ride on their Dad's new 4 wheeler. They were showing off their new helmets. Adam is the single one -- he absolutely adores the kids, but is in no hurry to have his own -- he doesn't even have a girlfriend at the moment.

Some little girls want doll houses. Here is my oldest Katelyn with her new barn.

And little sister Sarah with her new truck. Have mercy on the furniture!

Hey everyone....what a great bunch of pictures! I always thought that when i was growing up that there could never be nothing better than seeing all the presents under the tree on Christmas....I was wrong. Seeing the faces of my own kids on Christmas morning is far better. What a great time. Words do not express the joy my wife and I felt.

Brent, my daugther got the SAME barn your daughter got!

But when "Santa" was building it very late at night he thought that in additon to the tiny screws used to hold it together that a little bit of glue might also be a good thing. Well if a little glue is good, then more must be better . . . right? Just a little bit dripped down while it was drying and in the morning it was just a little bit stuck to the carpet!!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif If I ever find Santa I'm gonna have some choice words for him.

As it worked out, the lovely Mrs_Bob never knew the barn was glued to the carpet so I was able to undo the damage Santa did without incident. . . but as the carpet is only 3 weeks old I was certainly cursing that jolly old elf.

Santa got her barn at TSC and the horse display barn mail order through JC Penney. I have seen the TSC barn priced as high as $200 and as low as $49. I think Santa gave about $60 at TSC.
