In October, we went to Layla's preschool in Rockford to attend Grand"friends" day. She was excited to have us there. The school is located in a church and when we first arrived, we sat in the sanctuary until the children walked down the aisle to the front. Layla sat next to her best friend and showed NO signs of shyness. No surprise there.
She seemed to just enjoy the attention and the opportunity to perform.
Songs were sung and Layla showed an abundance of enthusiasm at her own performance!
After the songfest, we did turkey crafts. Grampy tried to help and she looked at me as if to say, "Does Grampy really know how to do this?"
Grammy, the Elementary School teacher, comes to her rescue and the finished turkey is shown here with all of the things listed on the feathers that she is thankful for. She was grateful for her family (including Grammy and Grampy) and her friends in school.
At the end, we were served snacks and drinks, and we decided this was really fun.
We went back to the house to enjoy some Joey. He was bright eyed and ready to par-TAY!
Poor Lily was home sick from school, but, that was our delight to have her with us. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of her, but, we always enjoy our "Sugar Bear" Lily.
We had chocolate cake for dessert, for an early Lily birthday celebration and Joey thought that it was just yummy!
We came back home and the next day I went to my task of sorting out pictures and things for genealogical work. Mom has kept some really great pictures that go way back and I am having fun sorting through those. It has taken over Patrick's room for months now.
All in all, I think that it is pretty fun being a grandfriend to my grandchildren. The BEST!
