"Happy Winter Solstice, Gramma!"

My mom came up to hang with the girls while David and I attended a Christmas party Sunday night.  The next day, as mom began to gather her things to head home, Grace quietly came to me and asked if she could wrap a snowflake "for Gramma for the Solstice."  "Of course!" was my reply and we quietly headed upstairs while both Gramma and Emma were busy.  She chose the box and the paper and ever so carefully placed the precious snowflake she made inside.  Once she was satisfied, we closed the box and she headed downstairs carrying it behind her back.  She waited patiently while Gramma finished her drawing with Em, and then, with much excitement handed her the box and proudly said "Happy Winter Solstice, Gramma!"  Such a sweet holiday moment, and one that will certainly be cherished forever.
