Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Jones

Grandma and Grandpa Jones (Mrs. Morrison's parents) finally made their way back to Utah from New York. We anxiously have been awaiting their visit to our classroom. We have been talking about "Christmas Around the World," so they introduced Christmas in Germany to us (they also lived in Germany for three years). The big surprise was when Grandpa Jones brought out a "beanie baby" (from his collection of hundreds) to give to each fourth grader. They were able to choose one from the collection or take one someone else had already chosen. We had a fun time and everyone left happy with a beanie baby of their own. We look forward to many more visits from Grandma and Grandpa Jones.
