Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Today is Nate's mom's birthday. Since we can't be with her on her special day we thought that we would send a bit of us to her.

(Keep in mind this is my first attempt with IMovie - I'm still learning - a lot! - I'll have to Ichat with her to give me some tutorials - seriously, y'all, I've done more on the computer in the last 3 weeks than I have in 5 years!!)

So without further ado...

Happy Birthday Barbie - we love you for many reasons - at the top of our list...

- your selflessness: you ALWAYS put others before you (almost to a fault at times, try a bite of your own food before you offer to give it away!) :)

- your spontaneity: We've watched you decide to do things on a whim or on a mere suggestion and you can be beyond silly with the girls.

- your loving spirit: It's been incredible watching you as a grandmother - We have no doubt that you love our children (almost) as much as we do! :)

Here's what the girls had to say...

"We love Grandma because...

- she buys stuff for us." - Alex

- she lets me earn money." - Alex

- she lets me drink Coke." - Alex

- she plays dominoes with me." - Maddie

- she is really nice." - Maddie

- she always takes me out for ice cream." - Maddie

You can tell that from their responses that she is totally living up to the "grandma" stereotype!

Have a wonderful day!! (By the way, this takes the place of a card!) :)

I always idolized my grandparents (Alex is named after them - Alexandria Lindell) - I'm happy that my daughters have TWO wonderful grandmothers and TWO fantastic Papas to look up to!

Aren't grandparents the best?!?
