I'm going to be a grandfather! Woo hoo! They haven't tuppence to rub together, so there'll be 3 generations under one roof. Still, DD is doing well after the throwing stopped, he's working all the hours God sends, and with luck I shall see New Person into their teens, as opposed to my DF who got less than 7 years of DGF hood. Wish us luck.

Oh, come on miniDisgrace, you can blow a better raspberry than that! Xmas Grin

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 20/12/2017 10:51

He's only four months old, give him a chance! Grin

Right now I'm listening to him and Disgracefulchild downstairs. All the early hard work, the horrible teenage years, the eyewatering sums of money...blown away like cobwebs by the love I feel for both of them. Son out law is a thoroughly good egg: the kind of steady young man I wish I'd been. "Wish no man happy until he is dead". This'll do until then.

EvilDoctorBallerinaRoastDuck · 20/12/2017 14:55

Why do I think he'll have a mountain of presents twice as tall as him? Xmas Grin

I've just read this wonderful thread! Now I'm having a little cry because I miss my amazing DGF and I'm sad because my DD doesn't have a amazing DGF like you. But they're also tears of happiness, because this is the happiest thread ever. I need more sleep, I'm an emotional wreck! 😂

What a lovely thread!

Raising a Brew (it’s a bit early for Wine) to lovely grandpas everywhere. Including my wonderful old Dad, who held my babies with so much love when they were tiny. Now the eldest one is nearly taller than him!

Disgrace, you're the kind of grandfather I wish I'd had; never knew either of mine as they died before I was born. I wish I had had a GF who ensured my mind was 'strangely and lavishly furnished'!

MadameJosephine · 22/12/2017 12:45

I intend his mind to be lavishly and strangely furnished.

I love this, you are an awesome grandad. I wish every child could have at least one person in their life like you!

AllStar14 · 22/12/2017 13:54

I miss my grandad.

This is my favourite thread ever.

LondonHuffyPuffy · 22/12/2017 14:03

What a lovely thread! MiniDisgrace is utterly adorable and you are a wonderful grandfather.

Hope y'all have an absolutely disgracefully fabulous Christmas

PrincessFiorimonde · 22/12/2017 22:57

Fabulous thread. Merry Christmas to the Disgrace household!

EvilDoctorBallerinaRoastDuck · 25/12/2017 07:49

Merry Christmas! I'm still waiting for the Santa suit! Xmas Grin

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 25/12/2017 08:20

It isn't Christmas until you've climbed into the box! We're at the out laws, and Little Prince is being loved to death by his paternal DGPs, his uncles and the Labrador.

This is the most beautiful and joyous thread of all threads.

You are the most wonderful GF and your GS is a beauty. Happy 1st Christmas minidisgrace! Welcome to the madness.

MrsGrindah · 25/12/2017 08:36

Merry Christmas to The Disgraces!

QuietNinjaTardis · 25/12/2017 08:52

This makes me feel a bit sad for my kids. I don't have a dad so no grandad on my side and my fil tolerates (barely) my kids/any of his grandkids. Luckily they have loving grandmas but they won't grow up with this sort of relationship and my fil has no idea what he's missing out on.
Hope you have a wonderful Xmas with your dc and grandson Xmas Smile

Rubyslippers7780 · 25/12/2017 08:58

Have a wonderful christmas Xmas Smile

buckeejit · 25/12/2017 09:16

How sweet! Happy Christmas to you all-sounds like I could learn a lot from your young daughter about not interfering when dh does things 'differently'!

He is a very handsome boy 😃
