A Year Full of Pure JOY

Great Granddaughter,  Vivian Lee,  born 1/11/18
When I look back at 2018,    I don't just think of all of the health problems I have had.   Instead,  I look at this little Bundle of Preciousness  who has brought so much love and joy into the lives of my entire family.

My Great Granddaughter,  Vivian Lee,  was born on January 11, 2018.   Since her birth,  most all of us in her family have enjoyed sharing lots of pictures and videos of Vivi's first year.  I think I have shared more pictures of her than I have anyone else!!!!   What a wonderful way to spend a year!!!!   AND --the best news is that there will hopefully be many many more to come.

Today I'll share some of my favorite Vivi-Photos  throughout 2018.    Hope this little angel will bring a smile to your face today!



































****************************************
Here are just a few more pictures I love.


Vivi and her adorable Mama,  Brooke-- all dressed up for Christmas!



Son  Mark with his Granddaugther Vivi Lee;  He is her "Pappa"



My favorite picture of all:   Vivian looking at her mother, Brooke, my Granddaughter



Great Grammy Betsy with her little angel,  Vivian Lee
WELL---I could go on and on and on ---but I'll stop!!!!!   Hope you enjoyed seeing just a dab of Vivian's first year.   As I have said so many times,   she has brought so much joy into our lives.

But --even though the first year of her life is over,  hopefully I'll be sharing pictures for many years to come.   AND --the best news is that Vivi Lee will have a little Sister  (Veronica) in May of this year.   YEAH RAH....

Have an awesome week...

Hugs,

    Vivian is such a beautiful baby. That first one with her little tongue out is darling, but the one that melts my heart is the one of her looking at her Mama. Pure love. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings, Betsy

    What a sweet joy, Betsy. She is precious and did put a smile on my face. I see on your former post that you are now using an exercise bike. Have fun with it and stay healthy in 2019!

    Babies always bring families closer together! She has a gleam in her eyes!! Full of life and maybe just a bit of mischievousness. My favorites are the second one (look at those little toes!), four (laughing for the sheer joy of it), and five (can't you just see her thinking "Now, what can I get up to?). Congratulations on the new baby!!! How far away do you live, and how often do you get to see her?

    I had a smile on my face as I enjoyed each picture. She is a doll.Little ones don't have to do anything special to bring joy into our lives.I love that.

    The photos are adorable. When I saw your post I remembered that Vivian shares her birthday with my grandson, Teddy, who was also one on Friday. The progress they make in one year is phenomenal. Although Teddy struggled with health problems for a few months, he has made loads of progress these last six months. As you have said they give so much joy to others just with a smile. Happy days Betsy.

    Oh my, I think I need to have my sugar checked. That was such a wonderful bunch of sweetness. She is adorable and obviously loved. And, I do love that name. So GWTW.

    She is so precious. It's no surprise that you're smitten with her. And I do love that last photo of her and her mama.

    What a beautiful bundle of joy you have there. I loved looking at her - going through all the months with different clothes. She looked very happy especially when looking at her mom - not so much with Santa.

    Hope you are feeling okay.

    Love, sandie

    Such a lovely little one. I'd love to share photos of my granddaughters only blog but my daughters say no. I agree there can be identity theft issues especially when you share full name and birth day.

    I'll bet you had a hard time cutting out the pictures you could have shared. But she is absolutely precious, and the pictures are a joy.

    What a treasure of pictures of such a precious beautiful little one! I think I can see you in her so she must resemble you. I am sure you will be overwhelmed with love when the the next one arrives in May. They grow so very fast so that is great that they take lots of pictures.

    Vivian is SUCH a little baby doll. I could nibble her cheeks....so it's a good thing she's too far away. What a little blessing and she's gonna love being a big sister!
