DEEDS, our youngest grandgirl, spent the night with us
and we were getting things ready for her
9TH BIRTHDAY !
1/10/11
9TH BIRTHDAY !
1/10/11
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
and both of us cried when RUTH died.
WHERE did the years go so fast?I remember the day, exact time, she was born as if it were yesterday...
and now....she is 9.Our baby....
Look how big her jacket looks, hanging on the hat rack...
bwaaaaaa
...and that's her LOOONG, 9 year old leg.
We have this one door facing that I measure all the kids from time to time..
Look...in '04, she was so short and tiny...
Now, look at her !
Her granddad went to the store for
PEARS and Donut Bars...
And, I got out my VINTAGE and THRIFTED
CHEERY CHERRY DISHES
because she LUVS them and always wants breakfast in them.
I keep looking for more of these delightful dishes but....
FRUIT LOOPS,
out of a cheery cherry bowl ...
ALWAYS tastes better..
What a little hoot she is...
I am sitting right across from her, snapping right and left,
and it's all she can do to keep from laughing..:))
I lit all the candles in the fireplace for a little
ambiance...
EVEN A LITTLE 9 YEAR OLD LIKES CANDLES
Coffee with CHOCOLATE MINT TRUFFLE and a sprinkle of cinnamon...
My daddy used to say, "I could stretch a mile if I didn't have to walk back."
Where's that little, tiny girl that's been replaced with
this bigger beauty ?
Ahhh, well, I am enjoying this bigger girl so much..
and I
LOVE HER TO THE MOON AND BACK.
♥♥♥
She had 3 friends over for a sleep-over and
they had such a good time.
♥♥
HAPPIEST 9TH BIRTHDAY, DEEDS.

BJ, I am a lucky woman to get to work with 100 nine year olds as their principal. Your 9 year old is lovely and what a lucky woman you are to get to spoil her so!
Happy Birthday dear Deeds! What a precious 9 year old and beautiful too! It sounds like you all had a wonderful time and you sure made the best birthday breakfast for her! I know she adores you!
Have a blessed day dear BJ, HUGS!
You're so blessed and so is she. How about an interview with Deeds about what it's like to be your granddaughter? ;> I can see that you really go the extra mile and more to make your time with her very special.
You absolutely must be the bestest grandmother of all! What a lucky girl to have you. Happy Birthday Deeds. :)
What a cutie she is --- and what a lucky gal to have you as her g'mom! Thanks for sharing the fun with us.
You are alot like my Granny, Miss Beeeeej. I loved her to the Moon and Back and she did me, just like you and your Deeds :)
Sniff, sniff :)
Deeds is so beautiful BJ, just like you!
You've inspired my new mantra, "What do I have to do that's so much more important than being "in" this moment of my life?":@)
Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!
And she is a beauty!!
How fun to be at Grandma's house... & ofcourse you would make breakfast fun...even the fruit loops look good : )
Happy Birthday to yourt sweetie. I notice that you posted the movie "FRied Green Tomatoes". You should've play along at My other blog @ My Entertainment Corner this week too. Oh, well have a good week. Stay warm.

Happy Birthday to precious Deeds! I can't get over how much she's grown, BJ, and she's just darling. And speaking of darling, love those rick rack ties on the napkins. How cute is that! Love your tablescape, too, and all the candles.
You are such a wonderful grandmother, and that little girl is very lucky to hae you just as I know you are to have her.
Love you...
XO,

BJ,
What a cutie of a post and your granddaughter is darling! She must feel as if she's the luckiest nine year old girl in Texas! I, totally, agree with her. . .I'd have my breakfast in those cherry (cheery) dishes, too! Thank you for sharing your granddaughter with us! Enjoy the memories!
Fondly,
Pat
P.S. My grandmother taught me to drink coffee, too! If only my MoMa had known! ! !

I enjoyed every word of your Grandma/Granddaughter birthday recap. I hope to have some of those grandkid things one day. They look like ever so much fun!!
And I like those cheery cherry dishes, too.
You always have such delightful posts...makes for a very enjoyable visit. But the one thing that stood out for me is the area rug....I do love that! Wow.

Happy Birthday to you Deeds! You already know what a wonderful grandmother you have! My grandmother spoiled me, and I have very fond memories of spending every other weekend at their home. She always brought out the beautiful dishes, baked the BEST sugar cookies, and "tickled" my back. And she lived to be 100!!Deeds, you are very blessed!
Clearly, you and Deeds have a wonderfully close and sweet relationship. I will keep an eye out for cheery cherry dishes.
Happy Birthday, Deeds!
Happy Birthday Deeds!! I miss my little girl who is now 31 years old. When I look at her I still see her at 9 years old.
Happy Birthday Deeds!! Love those jammies!!
What a lovely blog entry! Grandchildren are truly a blessing. What a wonderful 9 year old she is. Happy Birthday to her.
My little girl is now 15! Its kinda sad to think back when she used to jump in my lap but I am so thankful I raised a smart, sweet young lady she is today. Little girls are precious and she is a living doll. I love her little glasses. My little girl wears glasses to;)
BJ, Love the cute pictures !!! You sure have a fine looking Grand Daughter! Looks like you Gals had a Blast too! Don't you just love those Grands! Happy B-day to Deeds!
By the way I love her name too! :)

What a precious post. Your granddaughter is so cute and I love all of the cherry cups and dishes. This is a great post. Genie
BJ,
What a delight! Your post reminded me of a quote I said to Chickie once...."I love you to the moon and back, from here to infinity, forever and ever."
Happy birthday to Deeds! (love her name!)
You did a great job with this post...I can feel the love you have for her!
And, love those dishes!
Thanks for linking to 2nd Time Around!
Nothing better than a celebration with the grandchildren. It makes for some great memories later in life. I do believe their grandmother loved and enjoyed as much as they did.
Fried Green Tomatoes is one of my all time favorite movies too!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment...
Have a great day!
Lisa
