What a great surprise!

There was a knock on the door, and when we opened the door, guess who we saw...

Great-Grandpa and Grandma!!!Grandma and Grandpa Casper drove all the way from Oregon to come and see us.

What a great Surprise! (literally) We got a phone call at 9 AM in the morning and by 1:00 they were here.

It has been since last July since the kids have seen them. It was fun to catch up with them.
The kids had fun "showing off" for them; showing them how they can dance, all of their toys had to come out to show off, and Kenzie even showed her drawings.

There is something about grandparnets that you hold close to your heart. I remember feeding the ducks with grandpa as a kids and grandma was always cooking the very best cookies. She would keep extras in the freezer for when the grandkids would come. I remember when grandma would give me a perm in her kitchen or playing on their organ and hearing grandma sing in the background and there was nothing better then Grandpa's fresh corn from his famous (at least in the neighborhood) garden.
Now with Grandpa being 81 and Grandma 76, these memories and so many more I treasure and come to relized with my own kids and their grandparents, just how special of a bond they have. My kids are lucky to have both Dan's (Opa and Oma) and my parents (Nana and Pappy) around in their lives and they think the world of them. (It goes both ways.)

So with some great photos and chats, it was fun to have Grandma and Grandpa for a visit.
Something that Grandma said to my sister and me that I will remember is; "she is proud of us and the choices we have made in our lives to be able to have the the blessings that we have."

After dinner at the Pizza Factory, (I love their breadsticks...Yum!) we went to Feef's and Kory's house and visited a bit more.

After hugs and kisses, they were on their way down south, but I wouldn't have wanted to miss this day for anything. It was great to sit down and have those moments to hold on to.

We love you Grandpa and Grandma! Thanks for the visit, we'll see you again in July! (it is going to be my 10 year class reunion...Wow! Has it really been that long!?!?)
