Christmas with Bubbie and Grandad

We had our traditional Christmas brunch with Bubbie and Grandad at our house this year in hopes that Jillian would get a good nap. She decided she didn't want to miss out on all the fun, so that didn't work out exactly as planned, but we all loved having everyone to our house - especially Meredith, who could show Bubbie all of her fun new toys!

Probably my favorite moment of Christmas was watching Meredith open her present from Grandad. She has been asking for a Barbie "Rolling House" (aka RV) for months - this all stemmed from her love of Grandad's "Rolling House." The Rolling House was on her list for Santa from the moment she saw it. When Grandad found out, he went out and got it for her. Please understand, that in all the years that I have been in the Hanks family, I don't think I have known Grandad to go shopping for anything other than some groceries. I was completely touched that he wanted his sweet Meredith to have something that much that he would brave the Christmas shoppers on toy aisles!

Meredith was so excited to get her Rolling House!
Big Hugs for Grandad
