Hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's

My kids LOVE hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Brown. And what's not to love? Grandma and Grandpa always have some cool old collection to show the kids, they read them stories, send them stickers and cards in the mail (their FAVORITE thing!), give them animal crackers (the circus kind, in their OWN boxes :), and tell them just how wonderful and loved they are. So, yeah, they pretty much LOVE everything about Grandma and Grandpa. I ran across these pictures and had to document how special Grandma and Grandpa are to McKinley and Mason (and Matt and I, too!) Mason and McKinley looking at Grandma's Santa collection with her. She EVEN let the touch them, but only one at a time so they wouldn't get broken.

Grandma reading The Gingerbread Man to McKinley. Grandma made up her own ending where the Gingerbread Man gets away safely. McKinley has heard that story before and said that the wolf was supposed to eat him. Grandma thought her ending was a little nicer - I agree :).

McKinley, Mason, and Grandma after Andrew's farewell (that I have no pictures of... oops!)
The famous animal crackers that Grandma Brown always gives them when they see her - they LOVE them!
