Saturday after we left my parents house we took the short drive to Manti and stopped to visit Steve's (maternal) grandmother. We've been trying to go visit her since Christmas and kept having sick kids and other obligations come up. We finally made it! Don't you just love how she just hopped right up on Steve's lap in the picture above!
It was her first time seeing Avery and they bonded pretty quick.
Maddy is pretty shy and it took a little while for him to warm up.
So cute... she asked Avery if she wanted some dolls and then they walked hand in hand to go get them. She gave her several little fairy dolls and ponies... she loves them and has been playing with them nonstop and insisted on taking one to church today. Maddy didn't want any fairy dolls or ponies but she did let him pick out a car to take home.
The picture above I actually took right after we got there. Steve kind of played a joke on his grandma and called her from my parents house to make sure she was home, but didn't tell her we were coming. We showed up a few minutes later and of course she was shocked... besides hugs and what not she actually gave him a nice little slap on the cheek. So funny, she is so tiny, but feisty for sure :)
She wanted me to take a picture of Steve and the kids.
We actually waited out on her porch, knocking and trying to call her for a bit (I guess she was getting ready to mop the floor and didn't hear us knock and was just going to let the machine answer the phone-we finally just went in and called her name) so I took this picture of the Temple while we waited. She lives right across the street and has an amazing view...
It was so nice to take the kids to see her finally... she really enjoyed seeing them and we enjoyed visiting with her. I wish we could've stayed longer, we will have to make sure we get down to visit her more often.
