I was out in Mesa at the Temple. I stopped by Gina's place only to find them out house hunting. So I joined them at one of the houses. Gina said, "Mom put down your camera and check out this house." Okay. But AFTER I take a picture of all these colors.
We wanted to be the FIRST to celebrate Mother's Day with Nanne. I think we won. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! YOU ARE THE BEST! Grandma Nanne is almost 90 years old. She had more energy tonight than the rest of us. She still drives, shops and takes care of her friends. WE LOVE YOU!
SHE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER!!
I had to slip a picture of me in here with Nanne. I owe you a good shot of Dad with his mother.
Now... that makes for a very small party when you realize there are really 12 grandkids and 2 on the way total that could play here! So...I am grateful for any party. These kids would put a smile on YOUR face too!
When my oldest daughter had her first baby I wanted to pep up the name "grandma". It sounded too old to me. At the time I always seemed to be making cookies because of a grocery business I had - so I decided "Grandma Cookies" would be a fun name that my grandkids would love to say. It's stuck - and all of the kids now know that when they come to this Grandma Cookies house - I try to always have fresh cookies in the cookie jar!
