By the Guest of Honor
We flew to the east coast earlier this month (four days later than planned thanks to that big blizzard, but that’s another story) to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday.
At the birthday dinner party, Miss Leyba sat herself right next to the guest of honor. Never-mind that was supposed to be my seat. The toddler insisted she sit between Great-Grandma and cousin Julia. As the tears welled up in her eyes, I realized this was important to her, and quickly acquiesced. I instead sat several seats over where I watched my loves interact and greatly enjoy each other’s company. (It also gave me the perfect seat for capturing these priceless pictures, so in retrospect it worked out great.)
I do believe my grandma was thrilled.
Look at what fun they had together.
We all so enjoyed ourselves. A lovely, incredibly memorable evening and so worth the trip!
Happy Birthday, Grandma! We love you.

That is so wonderful – great photos. My Grandmother passed when Gracie was 2 1/2… I cherish the photos that I have with them together. (she was much older than your Grandma is now…)

The last photograph is splendid — such fantastic memories captured both in your minds and via the camera. The seating arrangement seems to have worked out beautifully!
