Look in their eyes.  Listen closely to their stories. I wish I could go back to the last time I saw her (our family Christmas party) and just revel in her company.  It&#8217;s a comfort to know that she got some quality playtime and love from Scarlett that night.  We gave her and Gramps a beautiful photograph of all the great grandbabies and she really loved it.  <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/GrammyChristmas1.jpg\"><img src=http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/GrammyChristmas1.jpg width=450><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/GrammyChristmas2.jpg\"><img src=http:\/\/i70.photobucket.com\/albums\/i104\/designerbrittney\/Blog%20Stuff\/GrammyChristmas2.jpg width=450><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And the grandkids also did a nativity reenactment, which I know she really enjoyed.
