Most of you probably know that right at the end of school, my grandma died. After her 3 1/2 year battle with Alzheimer's, she finally went home to Jesus. It was really tough, although the peace of knowing she is in Heaven and that I will see her again makes it so much better. The week after Grandma died, my mom, Diane, Hannah, Noah, Emily, Landon and I went to Build-A-Bear to...well, to build bears. We had a great time as Mom and her 4 grandkids made new friends to love. And each kid put a heart into my mom's bear... cheesy if you have never been, but after losing her own mom, my mom thought it was pretty special. It was a great time of family and togetherness, capped off with a trip to Sees in honor of Grandma. We wouldn't have eaten it, really....but it was her favorite :-) So, we all had some chocolate in her honor. The things we do for love! Thanks for the great day guys...I hope we can do it again sometime soon. Love you!

That is so sweet Christine... I love Build a Bear. My mom took Brady a few months ago. She recorded a message for him on the voicebox. Everytime he presses the bear's arm it says "Mimi loves you". I am glad you were able to spend timelike that together. That is what it is all about.
Chocolate is a must in those situations, or any situation really! What a sweet idea for the kids to add a heart to grandma's bear...what a special day to remember!
See you soon!
