Visits with Grandma

I am so very thankful for my grandma and the fact that she lives in town. I miss my grandpa who has been gone now over 2 years. I have many, many fond memories of visits with my grandparents all throughout my childhood. They lived in Indiana their entire lives... and moved out to Colorado when I was pregnant with Allen. What a treasure to have them so close - and for my boys to have not only their grandparents - but their great-grandparents in town. Soon after grandpa died, grandma ended up moving into a retirement home here in town. We visit her as often as we can. We still try and have "tea parties" (hot chocolate and animal crackers) whenever possible.
Today Judah and I went for a visit and did what we could to help grandma with her dishes, straightening of her room and just enjoyed visiting with her. She had saved some of her New Year's Eve party favors for Judah :) I am very blessed and very grateful.
