Yesterday was the day to take Colby to Dinner. He turned 8 and I wanted to Celebrate it like I've done with his 4 older cousins. My Mother in law always said that the one on one time with her Grandchildren was the best of times. I got up early to finish his Birthday Pillowcase.
I think he liked it. He ran and put it on a pillow in his room right after this Picture.
He had just gotten home from school. The sports fabric was perfect for this grandson!
Colby chose to go to "Red Robin".
They have Spaghetti that is Colby-safe without the Cheese on top. He also had the Steak Fries and two "Freckled Lemonades".
This toothless grin says it all!
He ate and ate.
He's a Growing boy. I was so glad I could get to know him a little better.
I learned all about how the Fantasy Football Team is going for him and his dad.
After we ate, we went to the Church Bookstore to buy him a Journal and have his name put on it.
The last stop was at the Temple for a picture of him by the Sign.
We walked all the way around the Temple. When he is 12 he can go inside, I told him.
It was a wonderful day to go and spend extra time with him.
Thanks to his great parents for letting Grandma have her day.
What a darling young man!! It looks like he had a fabulous day! When I lived in Maryland, I frequently drove by the Temple in Kensington, MD (it sits right off the Capital Beltway). I was always captivated by the gold angel on top.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special tradition this is, Mary. I bet the grandkids really look forward to it. You are such a good Grandma!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at your account of him eating and eating, and the talk about Fantasy football. That is about all that boy thinks about: food and sports. He said he had a really good time!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. I like his pillowcase. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHe's a little mini-Joe. =)
Fun! I love this little tradition you have. So fun for them too!
ReplyDeleteAwww! He's so cute! I love that age! Thanks for sharing!
