Another Snowman Grammie and Poppa Camp 2010

Hello.............sweet ladies,

What a whirl wind of the last few days............glad we had a bag ready for all the wrapping paper!!!!!!

To sum up our CHRISTmas in one picture........ our Grandson (who's family is hosting our orphan boy from over seas) wrote this and put it on Vitaliy.........sums it up wouldn't you say?

To: The Stubbs Family

From: Jesus

Love it. Children are so sensitive to matters like this. Pray for Vitaliy please. I showed him a nativity of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus he said, in English.......baby JESUS. I was so excited. Tonight will be special.......we will get the translator on the internet and all the kids can talk to him......this weekend.............precious!

"He predestined us to be "adopted" as his sons

through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—"

Ephesians 1:5

Poppa always reads the CHRISTmas story and prayed before we opened presents...........it is a must......because Jesus was our first gift!

I am cleaning a little to get ready for the GRAMMIE AND POPPA SNOWMAN PARTY CAMP. 10 grandchildren descending upon the farm..........this evening.........that means 10 sleeping bags.........10 pillows.......10 toothbrushes.........(?) deodorants (for me to keep track of some of the boys are 10. 11 and 12...need I say more)........girl's hair clips and rubberbands.......and the worst is 20 socks for each day............ 40 all together!!!!!!!!!!! Heehee.......I am not complaining here.....just giving you a "mind picture"! It is a total blast for this Grammie!

This is one of the presents we gave the Grandkids for CHRISTmas........... it is going to come in handy for our Snowman Party.........they will have ..........a Toolbox..........filled with all kinds of tools..........nail aprons..........everything you need for their fort. They started one on the farm this last summer. Also a video on how to build a fort. Measure Twice Cut Once It is a must, if you want to learn the easy way. I watched it the first night and it was like "I finally got it"!!!!!!!! I can help! You should have seen them open the present. It was to cute. As soon as it was opened on went the tool aprons!!!! Our grandchildren ages are 3,6,9,9,9,10.11,12,12,12." SPELLED WONDERFUL"! Vitaliy was so funny. He had tons of tools in his apron..........the children love him!!!!!!!!!!!!

I collect snowman items throughout the year..........especially when it is on sale.

Never pay very much!

Sooooooo I am cleaning a little to get ready for the GRAMMIE AND POPPA SNOWMAN PARTY CAMP. 10 grandchildren................. descending upon the farm..........this evening.........that means 10 sleeping bags.........10 pillows.......10 toothbrushes.........

(?) deodorants (for me to keep track of, some of the boys are 10. 11 and 12...need I say more)........girl's hair clips and rubberbands.......and the worst is 20 socks for each day 40 all together!!!!!!!!!!! Heehee.......I am not complaining here.....just giving you a "mind picture"! It is a total blast for this Grammie!

Sooooo today we will be getting ready. I shot a few pictures for you to see what we bought..... in case you might want to ever have a Snowman Party. I buy each year after the sales........put it in our Snowman rubbermade container and I am ready for the next year!

I will show tomorrow or the next day the foods we had........we found some really fun recipes for the party!!!!!

Sometimes..........don't you just feel loved? Early in the holidays we received a big box...........and in the box there were presents for the myself and the girls.............also there were ornaments and figurines for the Snowman Party Camp. I have to tell you ...........my heart was blessed. The gift was from a sweet friend this year that follows my blog. WHAT FUN!

Then we received another unexpected gift........from another sweet friend. It had things also for the Snowman Party Camp.

I can't believe we have been so loved this last year. Thank you to all who pray..........encourage.......and just letting us know that you care!

We will be taking the children to the nursing home to see Momma. They will be making cards for the residents. The residents will love it......they always love it when they see all the children...........maybe we can sing some songs......now that is a happy thought!

Better get in gear...........the children will be here before I know it. If you have any kind of party could you please let us know and we will come and see it on your blog.

Wish we had some snow........to make snow ice cream............ but if we did we couldn't work on the fort.........so I will be happy...........but I still am a "wishin" for some snow.......... after the party!

We will be baking...........I will have a surprise for you............you will like!!!!!!! I just have to get this Snowman Party Camp behind me!!!!!!!

Welcome new followers..........you were noticed........by me!

HUGS!!!!!!!!!!
