My grandmother just celebrated her 93rd birthday! She is one amazing woman! I asked her if she felt 93 and she told me, "Yes, every bit of it!" lol :) She still is fairly independent even with losing most of her eye sight and the challenges she has faced the past few years. The family got together for dinner,cake & ice-cream, and an evening of visiting.
We decided to get a picture with all the "Alice's". All of us in this picture were named after my sweet grandma!
Grammy Great - Alice V.
Grammy Ann - Alice Ann
Myself - Analice
Kourtney - Kourtney Alice
Daniel's little girl - Alice
I love this picture! I love taking my girls to spend time with their Great! I am so grateful my girls have a special relationship with her. One of my favorite things grandma does with my girls is; reach up to hold their cheeks in her crippled old hands and say, " I hope you know how much your Great loves you!"
When ever it's time to leave from our visits, she will follow us to the back door and holler, " I love you...a bushel and a peck! Come back and see me!" When the girls were just little they had no idea what that meant. I explained that Great was telling them that she loves them a whole lot and then even a little more! An old time saying. :) .
We also celebrated little Alice's 1 year old birthday a well! That year has sure gone by fast! They share the same birthday month. Since we hadn't celebrated Jared's yet, it became a celebrating for three!
My brothers and I share many memories of grandma and her house when we were our kids ages. The great grand-kids still play with the same bucket of toys we did when we were little. There is not much that has changed over the years at grandma's house. The great grand-kids still play down stairs in the unfinished basement, the back yard is still used as a sports field, and Easter egg hunts.
