Yesterday we were over to see Kristy and kids and near the end of our visit Sarah brought out some sheets of colored paper. On one she had spelled out Grammy with stickers and decorated the outside with many more. Inside was a big red heart and "I love you." Grammy was just delighted.
Then she brought out two green sheets of paper taped together. This piece had Grandad spelled out in stickers and then above she had created the same letters, but much bigger, with colored sticks, colored pipe cleaners and a cut out letter. When I first looked at it I thought it spelled out Gran - N - Dad and only a little bit later realized that there was only one N so it must be Grandad. The cute touch was a small bell that really rings in the middle of the A.

We got up to go with our surprises in hand and Lydia said, "Wait, wait!" and ran upstairs. She reappeared shortly and said, looking at me, "I didn't get yours done." "Here, Grammy." She had made a card that spelled out Grammy and decorated the card with flowers. So, with art work in hand, we left with our unexpected gifts. What a delight all our grands can be and usually are. This day they lifted our spirits and sent us home with big smiles. Happy travels.
