great grandparents really are great!

this week i took mia and george to visit their great grandparents.  a few weeks ago, grandma bea was hospitalized for some heart problems.  after visiting her in the hospital, mia came home and made her a necklace to help her feel better.  my dad made the delivery, and grandma bea was just tickled.  she thought that was the sweetest thing.  she has been wearing the necklace every day and says that it really has made her feel better.  my grandma absolutely hates for us to take pictures of her.  for her to even allow me to take this picture is miraculous.  i think it's so special that mia and george have gotten know their great grandparents so well.  i never had that opportunity.

my dad stopped by while we were there, and of course he got 'em all riled up!

grandpa abe loves his little rascals!
i couldn't get a decent shot of george because this is what he did the whole time we were there!
russ's work is super close to my grandparents, so we stopped by to say 'hi.'  it's tax season, so we literally stayed 5 minutes.

great grandparents are the best! My kids have 4 sets, 3 of them they see quite often! I love it- it is such a special little relationship. That necklace Mia made is just precious! :)
I love how long her hair is.... They are both so big and just plain cute.
Maybe this summer we'll have to come over for a park date or something...Carlaya still talks about Mia and I know Noah would love George!

What a sweet little girl Mia is! How nice to make her a neclace! My kids have 2 great - grandma's and 1 great - grandpa still and they get to see them quite a bit! Jason's grandma turns 98 this year and as hard as it has been to have his parents gone for 3 years it has been wonderful also because she has become of a grandma instead of a great grandma, they are alot closer to her! What a blessing!!
