Let me start by saying that my best friends were in charge of hosting and they don’t mess around when it comes to food.  The variety of the menu was impressive and everything was so delicious.

(Did I mention they travelled four hours to do this, with food?)

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

He likes working outdoors in the cold for a bit so he can come inside and have a “hot cocoa tea party” as he calls it!💋 He loves this tea set and so do I ❣️
