Christmas Eve Birthdays

my first baby grand
was born on my mom's birthday
~Christmas Eve~

it was a very snowy 
cold night in germany... 
i was there from start to finish
bringing this little one into
the world that night...

this is the first year she has been
~home~
for her birthday

so early morning 
before all the chaos to follow 
i let her open my present to her


it was a a musical porcelain doll
that my grandmother had given  to me when I was four
it sings the happy birthday song










then later when her 
great gram
got here we all 
celebrated with a tea party


i am hoping my 
~sister~
got more pictures
i was a bit too busy
by then

  3. Kathy, this post is just so heart-warming. Like you, I enjoy making gifts of special things to people who will enjoy them as much as I have. I've given my DIL and daughter some of my grandmother's jewelry, and the last time we went to Denmark I wore some of my late MIL's rings, and gave them to her great-nieces as I met them.
    I wish you and yours all the best in 2012 - and I hope that we get to meet up at some point!

  4. What a darling little birthday girl. You can tell how she loves her musical doll. What a treasured gift. My first babe was born on Christmas. She arrived two weeks early so we named her Nichole (with and h) after St. Nicholas. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
