someday...: Someday, I hope to be like Grandma Linda.

Fun is an understatement for this past Saturday, December 11. Family on my mom's side joined together at our house to celebrate "Express Christmas" {Modern Family reference} as well as a very special day for my mom's mother, Grandma Linda. Of course being the humble, sweet woman she is, she downplayed her 70th birthday and was hardly concerned with receiving and rather focused on showering us grandkids with love and gifts.

It was so adorable. She has a laptop at her home in Albany, however in attempt to give her something a little more user friendly, we bought her an iPad. You could see the excitement on her face, however it was slightly masked by a look of being completely and utterly overwhelmed. She was so patient as she sat for an hour whilst my dad attempted to give her a crash course on how to use this alien piece of technology.

I may be biased, but I have one of the best grandmothers God could have blessed a person with. She's the epitome of a grandma. Whether she's telling me how to avoid wrinkles, reciting her favorite Bible verse, or whispering to me the secret ingredient in her cookies {which does make QUITE a difference} it is always in this gentle, selfless nature. This woman has changed so many lives through the work she does through her church and the love she has that never seems to run out. I can't imagine life without her.

I must say, through her 70 years here on Earth, she has so gracefully carried a radiating beauty inside and out. {See for yourself :)...}
