30 Days of Thankfulness-17

Day 17- I am thankful for my grandparents and my children's grandparents. So I was having dinner with some friends on Monday and we got to talking about our Thanksgiving plans. That led to a conversation about who had living grandparents. My dad's dad passed long before I was born and I was pretty young when his mom passed. However, I feel very blessed to have grown up around the corner from my mom's parents. I have so many wonderful memories of holidays and sleepovers at my grandparent's house with my siblings and cousins. A lot of people don't get to grow up knowing their grandparents or living so close to them. As of right now, Jacob, Leah and Alexis have 2 sets of grandparents and 5 great grandparents that they see quite often. They even have a great-great grandma, although they have not met her. I can't imagine not having my relationship with my grandparents and I am so thankful that my children are growing up seeing their grandparents pretty much whenever we want.
