Grandma's Christmas Party

Every year Mike's mom and dad throw a great Christmas party at their house. My kids call it 'Grandmas Christmas Party'... and they look forward to it all year long. My mother-in-law literally starts shopping for the next year's party right after the holidays... and she shops all year long. She puts a ton of thought and love into each and every gift, always looking for the perfect item for each little personality (the look on Tessa's face shows she nailed it again this year). You can imagine how much time this takes, as she now has 20 grandchildren and counting!
Every year we tell her, "You did too much..." and every year she gives us her biggest, most beautiful smile and says, "Oh, it's so fun! One day I won't be able to do it, but today I can!" You can see from these photos that she is the epitome of a doting Grandma... and that each one of her Grandchildren (and children) adore her!

  3. I love Mike's mom. Do they still live down the street from my parents on Paradise Drive?
