christmas eve at grandma & grandpa king's


a quiet anticipation
hangs in the air
a sparkling winter wonderland
for the little ones to share



little eyes and little fingers
will ooh with delight
when they see grandma's wonders
and experience christmas eve night



little white lights
and santas galore
are seen through the eyes
of the ones i adore



one giant santa
stands guard at the door
he sends a warm welcome
of what is in store



the tree is overloaded
with treasures and balls
years of collecting
are decking our halls



these handmade little dollies
are nestled in the tree
awaiting the arrival
of their new family



when jenna arrives
it's time for her to seek
the shiny green pickle
it's no fair to peek



her prize will be hidden
in the tree as well
jenna will love it
her mom will say "oh swell"


then it's on to the goodies
in boxes so bright
some are filled with funnies
some with delights


there's one for matt and megan,
one for sarah and jon
for joe, jenna, layla,
amaris & everyone


candy canes are waiting
to add the finishing touch
to a special cup of chocolate
to enjoy with no rush


as we sit to dinner
we say a special prayer
of blessed thanksgiving
what a wonderful family we share!!

merry christmas, all my bloggy friends!!
