Gran Jan's (and G-Daddy's) Christmas SURPRISES!

We celebrate Christmas with my parents on Christmas Eve. It is a long-standing tradition and my Mom passes out the gifts because she is really the heart of Christmas in our family.  As she handed a gift to me and a gift to my husband, she said "I don't know who these are from or where they came from."  The card said, "Open Together."  So we each opened our gifts and lo and behold...this is what we saw! (I opened the PINK one.)

YES! Our May grandbabies have been revealed! 

It's a GIRL!  It's a BOY!

The stockings match the mommies below! 

They have been telling us that it would be next month before we could find out and they have kept the secret well - and I am so proud of them. (Go here to read the original post.) My boys obviously did not inherit the "cannot-keep-a-secret-well-gene" from their mother!  Now if it is confidential, sad and serious, my lips are sealed! But if it's happy news, well, let's just say I fit the old song, "If You're Happy and You Know It, Then Your Face Will Surely Show it..."  because everyone can tell I know something. Read my smile! So be sure I have a BIG OLD SMILE on my face this Christmas morning.

Oh and one more thing...Gran Jan is 3 for 3 in "G.G.G." (Guessing Grandbabies' Gender). Yes I am...right before we were handed those gifts, I leaned over to Erin and said, "I think you're having a boy!"  She just smiled...  The sonogram pictures are in the stockings too - I have some sweet and thoughtful daughters-in-law.  I love them for all they are to my sons - their love for my boys means EVERYTHING to me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM GRAN JAN!  I will post some Christmas photos from the farm later, but right now I just want to let this one sit...and I'm going to go sit by the tree and count my many blessings, name them three by three, Zeke...Baby Girl...Baby Boy!

Emmanuel, God With Us - Oh YES - HE IS!
