Ma-Ma was in the hospital with her original fight with cancer; had been in for about a month. We all-including Tina- went down to see Mom and bring her some presents- and some of our cornbread stuffing-and some chocolate covered cherries that she , so, loved!
At this time Tina told us she was ready to have the baby. I stayed with Tina (and Marc) in the delivery room. Alli came a few hours later, (about 4:AM) just missing being a Christmas Baby by a few hours!
Our "Ma-Ma"( being in the hospital) was able to see the new Great granddaughter when she was just a few hours old! ;) As you might imagine, Alli and Ma-Ma were always very close and were together almost every day until Alli was 12 years old!
~~~With Allison almost being a Christmas baby, I wanted Tina to name her Noel - LOL- 'Merry Noel'- to be exact...but she didn't! She liked Allison Brooke~~~
This is our Christmas Baby - who is 'Sweet Sixteen' today!
Here is Alli this Christmas!
Happy Birthday, Sweet Allison!
Love Always,
Ginga
Thanks Ginga! I love you! =]

Pass along our Birthday wishes to Alli as well. Good story too about how she got here. ec
ReplyDeleteThanks,ec,
ReplyDelete:) I'll let Alli know there are birthday wishes for her here!
...but don't you think 'Merry Noel' would have been a fine name!! :)
I still like it! LOL- but I got over ruled by the mom! haha
Junie
My newest Grandaughter is also named Alli. (different spelling)
ReplyDeleteThey're both cute. Happy Birthday.
I read down thru the Christmas blogs you have written and have decided to come to your house next year for Christmas
Hi Cliff,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me here-and Yes- do drop in on us next Christmas! :)
We usually have a Merry time around here.
(the thing with Charles and me-if one of us is 'down' the other is 'up' enough to carry on the tradition!
(Goes with being married for over 45 years I guess!)
...so you have a little Alli too?(Aly?)
Aren't we lucky!! ;)
Junie
Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. =]
ReplyDeleteI had a great birthday, I went out to dinner with my mom, cousin, and a friend of mine that I've known for almost 13 years now. It was fun, nothing big, because the trip to New York City a couple weeks ago was my big birthday thing.
