Hello, Ninny

Dear Ninny,
It's Lucy and Piper here, and we just wanted to write you a thank-you letter!  We are SO glad that you came and visited us for 9 whole days!  That was so much fun!  Yes, we were stuck inside almost every day, and yes, it was freeeeeeezing outside and chaotic inside, but we still had a blast with you in our home.
We want to thank you for holding us a lot- a whole lot.  Lucy loved getting to play with you while Mom fed Piper, and Mom was so thankful that Lucy had someone to play with so that she wouldn't feel left out.  Piper loved being snuggled by you under the heating blanket every single day.  It was cold inside too!  Although there were lots of laughs through-out the week (Lucy is one silly girl) there were also more tender moments shared between the three of us that we couldn't have loved more.  Whenever Ninny comes, love is felt throughout our home so strongly.  And that is a big blessing.
Our Mom wants to thank you for buying lots of groceries and cooking dinner for her so she could actually relax!  Our Dad wants to thank you for making New Year's Eve fun by buying football food for his game.  Lucy wants to thank you for her deluxe fur coat and other little goodies, and Piper wants to thank you for her new preemie onesies, even though she is almost 3 weeks old.  Mommy says she is SO thankful that you were here to cook, clean, and help out during our errands we all ran together.  She would have gone nuts without you.
Lucy wants to say that she is so sad that you aren't here anymore in the mornings to snuggle with.  Snuggling is one of the things Lucy does best and she woke up crying this morning when she realized the other side of her bed was empty :'(
We are so happy that you came and sacrificed all of your time to be with us and spoil us rotten.  You chose to give Piper a New Year's kiss instead of Papa, and sit on the couch in an LSU fan's house during the Duck's Bowl game instead of attending a football party with your fellow Duck friends.  Those are 2 pretty big sacrifices you made for your 2 grand daughters!  And we are so glad you did.
Thank you for doing Lucy's hair everyday and for playing for hours with her each day.  Thank you for babysitting the girls while Mommy and Daddy went on a couple of FUN dates....they REALLY needed to get out and spend time together-alone! Thank you for helping out with Piper's very first bath!  That is so cool that you got to be here for the cord falling off and the bath, and then to see her silver hair afterwards :)
Thank you for helping take some pictures of her in the fancy bib and booties from Grammy- Piper was not cooperating and it was nice to have some help :)
Thank you for loving us unconditionally and for being you.  We miss you SO much already.  Colorado is just too far away from you and it's sad to not be with you daily.  Please come back and play again soon.  We love you as big as the beach!
All Our Love,
Lucy and Piper

P.S. I know you will miss this face!  This is Lucy shouting "I LOVE YOU NINNY!"
