Poor Grannie D has been cooking a lot since she came. For Christmas eve, we went with 2 families from church to take food to the local Ronald McDonald house. It was a real grounding experience....I was so grateful that my children are home with me and not in the hospital for Christmas (Thank you, Lord). Then we went to eat at the home of Bobby and Cindy Pace and their daughters Whitney(9) and Brooke (11). They were so accommodating and we enjoyed ourselves so much. Marlie was all upset when we all laughed at her because they were passing black olives (Marlie's favorite) and she ate them straight out of the dish with the serving spoon. We all thought it was so cute but she HATES people to laugh at her. Guess we need to brush up on her manners!
