Wild About Our Grandparents

Grandparents Day at TRA is a HUGE tradition. I remember back to the first Grandparent's Day when Ms. MaryLou was the Principal and everyone could fit in the gym with ease. Now we do good to be able to squeeze into the gym and have to limit who comes. A lot has changed since our first years at TRA, but a lot has stayed the same. It is still the absolute BEST place on Earth for our kids to go to school. I wouldn't trade my kids small town raising for the world. The good definitely outweighs the bad. It is hard to believe that Oney is in the fourth grade. He will only have one more Grandparent's Day program after this year. Wow! My baby boy is growing up so fast.

We (the room moms) always have a special gift for the Grandparents. We usually try to involve the kids in some way and if possible use their hand or foot prints. This year's idea was definitely one of our best gifts...a doormat with an owl on it. It was so cute! The grandparents had a fit over it.

Oney and I had to do some of the painting in advance. He was a HUGE help as usual.

Sittie and Ginny took Oney to the book fair to buy a book and a poster before the program. He picked out a joke book and an angry birds poster.

Oney's fourth grade teacher, Ms. Jenny Daniel. She was also both of the girls' teacher. She feels like family now and she certainly takes care of all three of my kids like they are hers!

Thanks to my Mother and Mother in Law for making such an effort for the past 10 years. You have made the day so special for all three of my kids and me. Ally, Abby and Oney are so lucky to have you. We really are "Wild About You"!
