Better than a speckled pup in a red wagon on Christmas mornin', she knew she was a princess the day she was born. Her brothers welcomed her as royalty straight into their arms and protective big brother hearts. Born September 17, 2003, Honor Elizabeth graced this earth and our family with a heart as tender as Granny Walden's farm fresh warm apple dumplin's.
Hubby sometimes refers to little Indian Princess as "Ornery Elizabeth." This Ozark Farm Chick just calls her my "Mini~Me." We not only share September birthdays but looks, creativity, humor, artistic abilities, love of music, mannerisms, a heart for the Lord and His children. As I've said before, watchin' her grow is like steppin' through my own little girl lookin' glass!
No doubt this miniature fudgy faced Cinderella complete with teeny glass slippers will someday find her Prince Charming. Did ya'll notice the Minnie Pearl tag in her crown? She keeps us in stitches with her witty off the cuff humor and her zest for life.
She has written and illustrated a book about her life from birth to her very own family. Honor even had a couple pages dedicated to 'the honeymoon' which had the moon~eyed couple seated at a table complete with a beautiful floral centerpiece. I asked her what a couple did on their honeymoon and she replied, "Well of course Grandma Muzzie, they go out to eat at a really fancy restaurant, enjoy a movie and sleep in very expensive hotels." Silly me, at my age I should know these things...Heeehehe!!! As any best seller, Honor's book ends with "happily ever after."
Yep, this little Princess Bride made her daddy grab his chest, gasp for breath and turn three shades of green when she tried on the dress~up Christmas present we gave her a couple of years ago. Convincin' this dreamy~eyed bride she's not truly a princess is like talkin' a monkey into doin' math equations. 'Just not gonna happen! Mini~Me huffed and puffed and blew out all eight candles atop her birthday cake in one breath. I can only guess what this imaginative doll wished for. Oh, I could just sop this sweetie up with a buttermilk biscuit!!!!
Long before Elton John blew out "The Candle in The Wind" honoring Princess Di, he wrote the music and sang Gary Osbourne's forgotten song on his 1982 "Jump Up" Album. This proud rockin' grandma could sing Elton's very words as my heart bursts, "You make the sun shine on me~ You're one fine lady~ You're my PRINCESS" !!!
Woohoo!!! Ya'll move the furniture waaaay back and do a great big old happy dance with me 'cause folks, we have a winner! Random Generator has selected lucky number 46. Here's sendin' a big old Ozark 'CONGRATULATIONS' to Julia over at " Of Petals and Wool ", please do pop over and congratulate her. She's a real sweetheart and I know she's gonna love Margaret's book, "Sticky Readers: How to Attract a Loyal Blog Audience by Writing More Better" as much as I did!!!!
"Thank You" Miss Maragret!!! She hangs out at: "Nanny Goats in Panties"

Your little Princess is such a little sweetie pie. I always smile at your little Nezzisms but I totally laughed out loud at "Oh, I could just sop this sweetie up with a buttermilk biscuit!!!!" Too cute. I can see where Honor gets some of that charm. ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Julia! :)
I can certainly understand why your Princess stole your heart from the 1st time you laid eyes on her. She is adorable! I love her zest for life. Happy Birthday, Dear Princess!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Julia! She's a lucky lady. :)
Your little lady is a real doll. It's no wonder she has stolen your heart.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Princess. I too have a Princess in my family and they are not called that for nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou have a Mini-Me? Is that a safe thing or should the world be warned?
ReplyDeleteShe's going to grow into a beautiful young lady.
She is a sweetheart; thank you for sharing these adorable photos!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Julia!

My post today: Divine Nature
Oh, she is just the sweetest little girl. I can see why you couldn't manage a day without her. I hope she realizes how lucky she is to have you for a grandma.
ReplyDeleteI think you picked the same song for her last year too! I remember because I thought I was the only one who knew the song and when I saw it here commented on it! I always have it on my ipod :O) Those first few notes always make me smile!
ReplyDeleteShe's a beautiful little girl!
ReplyDeleteYour little Honor is a sweetie and growing up so fast! Loved the pictures!
ReplyDeleteWell Nezzy, I know a princess when I see one, and she' a princess all right. What a nice little story that you wrote on your blog about her and the pictures are just precious. She gets her cuteness from you and everything else. Now she knows exactly what she's going to be like when she grows up.
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe that I won your give away. This must be my lucky day. First a new born calf today and now this. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Now I can't wait to read that book. I'll email you my address. Thanks again. BIG HUGS. JB
Congrats to your winner! Love the little Indian Princess dress (and ALL of the pictures). I always wish I had older brothers.

ReplyDeleteHaha! A mini-me princess! I can see why she stole your heart. Verily she sparkly shiny!
ReplyDeleteI never heard this Elton John song. It always amazes me what he did with the words/lyrics he was given, you know?
Happy Birthday to your Mini-Me!! :):)
Looks like a princess. walks like a princess, talks like a princess.
ReplyDeleteThe two cute brothers (top picture) seem to cherish their royal sister.
Happy Birthday to princess Honor Elizabeth!
your little princess certainly is a doll.
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winner of your giveaway
Those grandgirls sure are special to us, aren't they? What a precious little girl your mini-me is. You gotta love a girl who likes to dress up and imagine she is whatever she wants to be. Happy birthday to your little sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteShe really did get a big dose of your genes in looks.
ReplyDeleteLoved the baby picture. The boys look happy and delighted with a new sis -- she looks stiff legged with indignity at being boyhandled:)) She has grown into quite a lovely young lady.

She is a beautiful gal with a smile as big as Texas! xo
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful granddaughter, you have a right to be proud!
ReplyDeleteI feel the love!
ReplyDeleteI've been told many times that the love of a grandchild is just as indescribable as the feeling we have when we have our own child...however, you've done a great job here!
Gotta pop over and see what that book is all about.
She is so pretty - you must be so proud!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics!
XOXO Lola:)
What a beauty! And she was born 3 days before my eldest son--on my dad's birthday!

ReplyDeleteYou are one sweet granny! ;)
Shelia ;)
Congratulations to the winner. Elizabeth is adorble!! The pictures are precious.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful princess, and appears to have been from the very beginning.Looks like Honor's brothers love her very much and are probably very protective of their sister. Grandsons are wonderful but just not quite like a granddaughter. Thank you for sharing your grandchildren and congratulations to Julia, have to check out her blog. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks again for sharing your family.
ReplyDeleteShe is the cutest and QUITE the Princess....You inspire me, encourage me and make me laugh
ReplyDeleteYou weren't kidding when you nicknamed Honor "mini-me". Wow, you two look so much alike... You're both gorgeous. My heart melted a little bit when I saw your sweet girl in her princess wedding dress. Wow-- Are the boys chasing her yet :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Julia on winning Margaret's book. I have it and she gives great advice.
Happy weekend, xo jj

It is precious and pure and sweet these little ones.

Every single one of your children, your grandchildren, and all your loved ones are so blessed to have you in their lives. I loved reading your little "tributes" to them. Your love shines through in each of these posts you write about them. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Nezzie - that is one little "princess" you've got there. I know - I had two boys and then my girl. Definitely. She was spoiled by them from the git-go. But if they gave her any trouble, she could punch and hit with the best of 'em!
ReplyDeleteYour little one is SO cute - I imagine she does take after you! Have a wonderful week!
She looks like a princess to me. What a little beauty, and if she inherited her grandmother's genes, she's going to be brilliant. What a combination. laurie
ReplyDeleteAwww, she is absolutely precious!!! It's obvious that Grandma Muzzie is her biggest fan!!!
ReplyDeleteYour little princess is adorable! I know that she's so blessed to have a grandmother like you! Thanks for stopping by last week!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Thank you so much for stopping by my blog; I feel like I've made a new friend in you. Isn't being a grandma the best;we've got 9 grands and I cherish each one! Wonderful post on your sweet princess.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Noreen
I thought id stop by again to see what you were up to, and thank you again for your blog visit. Richard from the Amish community of Lebanon,pa

ReplyDeleteCheers!

Oh how did I miss this one? Must of been when I was still sick. Oh Nezzy, she is the most adorable one! And she surely is a mini-me of you! Are you sure you didn't birth her girl?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
What a lovely tribute to a pretty little girl!
Sounds like your a busy bever with the Christmas decorating and baking! Post pics!! Please...with sugar on top?
Big Hugs,
Cindy
Girl, you crack me up.
ReplyDeleteMy little princess turns 8 in February (we also share a birthday). When she was 4 she refused to join the group at her Head Start class. As she explained to the teacher, "I don't have to participate, because I'm a princess."
Your granddaughter is beautiful--and I can see the resemblance!
Your little Princess is adorable! I know how proud we can be of these sweet grand girls! And happy dancing for Julia! CONGRATS to this lucky girl! I will have to check on that book! It sounds like a lot of fun reading! Warm Southern hugs! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a little sweetheart! I don't blame you for being smitten!
ReplyDeleteShe is a princess.
ReplyDeleteA blessing in your lives.
How wonderful to have a sweet grand daughter like that to brighten your days.

Happy day****
She is absolutely precious! I just love the little bride dress and the story about the honeymoon.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a beautiful name to give her, too.
So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you collect snowmen too; however, I'm sorry that you experience the cold stuff!
Nezzy, your stories always make me bust a gut or grab a tissue and this one did both. What a touching tale of a very adorable "princess".
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet post...my hubs insists he'll need medication on the day of his daughter's weddings : )
ReplyDeletethank you so much for leaving the comment over at my blog letting me know I won the ornament giveaway. Thank you. I can't tell you how stressfully NOT Christmas it's been at our house. We are going on 6 weeks of sick kiddos. The lack of sleep may be the death of me. :*(
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate you caring enough to let me know!! :)

She is adorable! Love the answer about the honeymoon. I have always heard if they ask you "one of those questions", ask them what they think, before you offer to much information. :-D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your evening.
I can't beleive how many people you have commenting on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHaving said this, I can only add how much I enjoyed seeing your Little Princess grow up before my eyes. She is really a darling and it's no wonder you are so proud of her. Her wedding dress is darling and I'll be she was one happy little girl when she got that prize.
Hope you post more pics of this cutie.
Sorry I have to post this as anonymous. Yours is another blog I just can't get a comment through. Thanks for your comment on my blog.

ReplyDeleteWell now Miss Nezzy, your sweet angel baby is cuter than a basket of newborn puppies! Your love for her just comes pouring out of my computer monitor and that's just as it should be. There is nothing better than grandchildren to warm your heart and make life worth living.
ReplyDeleteThanks darlin' for checking on me during my extended absence. Everyone had a hand in helping me get through my loss and it's nice to be back in Blogland with such sweet friends. Here's wishing you and yours a joyous Christmas season.
Sending you warm hugs from Florida to help keep you warm this winter!
