My kids are so blessed to have amazing grandparents who take so much time doing special things for our kids. Yesterday, Grandma Larsen came and picked up Avery for her "birthday weekend with grandma and grandpa". It starts at 5 pm with shopping with Grandma. After shopping, grandpa joins them for dinner, then back to grandma and grandpas house for a sleepover. Now this isn't any sleepover. This is ONE ON ONE 100% attention from grandma. Poor grandpa gets kicked out of his own bed and has to sleep downstairs with "Daisy the Dog" (avery's words) and Avery gets to sleep in bed with grandma in grandpa's spot! (Yet another thing that does not get to happen with mom and dad).
After a beautiful nights sleep (probably just for Avery.. not so much for grandma and grandpa) they get up and make pancakes and have more fun till it's time to come home.
As I said before... I feel so blessed for wonderful grandparents. My kids have great relationships with all 4 of their grandparents as well as their great grandparents. I know we are all better because of these great people in our lives.
Now for the "shopping" part of the birthday.. Shopping with grandma is much different than shopping with mom. Grandma is grandma which equals........ kids get spoiled and LOVE every second of it!
All Avery wanted for Christmas was this friekin remote control puppy. There was NO WAY I was going to get a $50.00 stuffed animal for her. NO WAY!!!!
So, this brings us back to her shopping trip with grandma........
Guess who got her puppy?
Life would not be as great if it weren't for grandma's
(I gotta admit... the dog is pretty cute)
It's name is "princess"
