Me, when I was a little girl, with my Granny!

My grandma was so cool when I was growing up. She was the kind of granny who I bragged about... I remember saying once, "My granny is so cool- she doesn't wear old lady pants, she wears blue jeans!" I don't know why that was so significant for me, but I loved that fact about her. We always sat together in her recliner- so much so that when she went shopping for a new recliner, she had to take me with her to make sure she bought one that we could both fit in! LOL... She passed away a year and half ago...I miss her like crazy! She really was my best friend!!

Grandmas really are a kid's best friend! Take a moment today to {Embrace} your grandma...or the memory of her!

I had a special relationship with my grandma too, I remember sitting in her recliner with her as a little kid. She had like 24 grandchildren at the time and she said I was the only one that would just sit with her. Your kids will cherish these pics with their grandparents :)
