Anyway, the neatest part was bedtime (after our movie and treats). I got the girls tucked in and of course they wanted me to tell them a couple of stories. I usually tell stories of my childhood, but I thought maybe I would try something a little different. I started out by telling them this was a true story, and I told them about Joseph Smith from the time he was little and had his leg operated on through the first vision. These girls know this story very well. When I got to the part where J.S. saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and what they told him, little Allie (5 yr old) asked a couple of questions and here they are:Allie: Grammy do you believe thats true?
Grammy: Yes! I know it's true!
Allie: How do you know it's true?
Grammy: Because the Holy Ghost told me so.
Allie: How does He do that?
Emmie: When you feel really good inside, kind of like a warm blanket, then what you are hearing or reading is true.
This was one of those moments, as a grandmother, I cherish so very much.

What a special Grandma you are and what a wonderful experience with your grandaughters. You are the best, Miriam and I really want to be just like you. Love, Anne
That is so neat! How lucky they are to have such a great grammy.
You're amazing, Miriam! What a fun weekend with Grandma and I love that you usually tell them stories about your childhood too. What a special memory for them and for you!
