Grandma Steele Visit

It seems like we see my Mom about every 2-3 months during the year. (In 2012, she came in March when I was 8 weeks pregnant with Ellie and sick. Then we saw her at Topsail Island, NC during our beach week. In August, we met her and my dad and my brother and his family in Atlanta over my birthday weekend. She was then here for Ellie's birth. Then we went up to NC over Thanksgiving. And then Christmas! That's one dedicated Grandma, I tell ya). It is so nice to have her within a days drive. When she opened the door on Thursday afternoon, Brinley ran to her with open arms screaming "Grandma!!!", but it sounds more like Gwamma. Bless her heart, she can't say r's very well. Grandma came bearing gifts of all kinds, Salt City candles, Cracker Barrel outfits for the girls, Cadbury Easter mini eggs (yummo!), pedicures for the girls, and of course a shopping trip to Target to get something for me.
