Gran-Nan the birthday gal

So, I have the honor of eating breakfast with my grandparents EVERY Thursday morning (I think I’ve mentioned this before). I do cherish those early breakfasts and I try hard to work my schedule around that time every week. Sometimes we have to miss, but we are pretty faithful to the Thursday morning breakfast routine.

My grandparents are precious to me. They always have been. There are so many memories stored back in my cranium of them throughout my life. They are definitely a fixture in my life, in Jason’s life and now in EB’s life.

It’s funny, EB is in that stage where she is super social…from a distance. If you get close and she doesn’t know you, it’s over. So, while she sees her great grands fairly often, she doesn’t see them every week. However, she LOVES them. She’ll crawl up in their laps, let them carry her, run towards them, etc. It’ll melt you. She probably just knows they begged for one of her….they were probably THE MOST excited family member about her birth…they love her despite her attitude, temper tantrums, etc.

With that said, today is Great Gran-Nan’s 79th birthday. Evie had the privilege of coming to Thursday morning breakfast. She ate….and ate…..and ate. Her great grands got to take her to Fort Knox school afterwards so they could learn the system and see her school. Wouldn’t you know she bellied up to the table and ate some more once we left?! Mercy. Anyway, back to the subject at hand, she enjoyed breakfast with the birthday girl!

Happy Birthday to one of my most favorite people with my ABSOLUTE favorite person. Funny story: EB is saying "CHEEEESE" b/c I told her to. However, she doesn't get that it means to smile, so she's turning in an effort to ask for cheese. Funny and NOT surprising.
