a visit with "old" grandma

we planned our visit to iowa to allow us to be there for my great grandma's 88th birthday celebration. but since we knew that her birthday party was going to be packed out we went a couple of days earlier to visit and say hello. it was great to see her doing so well. matt's family called their great grandparents old grandma or old grandpa so matt got micah calling her that and my mom thought it was pretty funny.
micah and old grandma eating crackers and messing with pickles his little frog.

micah ate so many of old grandma's crackers that he needed a break with daddy.
such great smiles out of both of them!

4 generations...


old grandma requested this for her birthday. she wanted to fit in with the cool ladies at the home. there were so many people at her party and she went around the whole room to say something nice about each person. it was pretty funny and very touching! then later she gave great grandchildren rides on her birthday present.

my whole family with old grandma. it was a very special day and we were so glad that we got to be there for it.
