Our Weekend

This past weekend I had such a blessed time at my Grandma's house! RJ took Trinity to a FSU football game so the boys and I took off to spend the weekend with her. She had mentioned wanting to get her Christmas tree put up because she wasn't sure it would get done otherwise so ofcourse I jumped on the opportunity.

Growing up, Christmas was magical at my Grandparent's house. My Papa would start decorating in October and the house was lit up in lights, figurines in the yard and Chipmunks music playing outside for the people passing by. If anyone asked where I lived, I just told them, "The house with all the Christmas lights."

It's hard to see this photo but this is only about half of what he did.

Ofcourse my Grandma cannot continue this tradition anymore (the church came out and did it for her two years after his passing) so it was nice to help bring some of the Christmas joy back into her house. She even gave us a few ornaments she made many years ago for us to enjoy at home. I will cherish them for many more years as I know my kids will as well. 

I make it a point to help her clean and organize when I visit as well. This time I focused on her living room and was able to get the whole room dusted, touch spots wiped down, floor cleaned and her magazine rack cleaned out. Next time I will focus on another room to clean and hope to continue visiting once a month to help her out. Plus I enjoy spending time with her and we love watching Hallmark together. :) 

I hope you all had a blessed weekend as well and made just as sweet memories with your family! God bless, Michelle
