She wears funky high heels shoes. Rollerblades. Twitters. Is a facebook follower. She was the first one in our family to own a Mac. And she is the most amazing Gramma one could ask for.
A few months ago, my grandma, Gerr, moved to my town – she moved across the country – from British Columbia all the way to Ontario. And she is just a God-send, let me tell you! I absolutely LOVE having my favorite Grandma in town! She’s just minutes from my house so in the summer (too wimpy to walk in the winter) we can walk or bike to Great Gramma’s house and spend hours doing crafts, talking, drinking coffee or watching old movies together (we both share a love of older movies – like Singing in the Rain, High Society and Holiday Inn).
What really makes my heart bust with happiness is being spending time with my girls and my gramma – together … memories like building gingerbread houses together – just like we did when I was a little girl … one of my fondest memories with my gramma was making gingerbread creations every Christmas … this year, my girls built the same memories with their Great Gramma. How lucky are we?
It was a bit trickier than Gramma remembered, but she still did a great job with Lacey!
Lyla, putting some nice touches on our sleigh that just wouldn’t stay together … gotta love the collapse-inwards-re-icing-everything moments when building gingerbread treasures!
Not sure if Lucia is helping or eating all the sprinkles …
The rugrats in all their icing glory …
The whole gang …. and puppy …. Lyla’s stuffie of the week (do your kids do that? Find one toy and just LOVE it SO much a week at a time?)
Love you, Gramma! xo
P.S. Stay tuned for another fun giveaway coming your way in the next 24 hours! 😀
