May 2nd, marked the date of Grandma Fitzwater's 81st birthday. Of course, we all have a lot of memories about being with Grandma and spending time at her house. But, one that really sticks out in the minds of some of us, is the summer we practically spent every night there! Melissa and Briana were staying there and so Kelley, Kaitlyn and I stayed there as well. We had our own little apartment right there in Grandma's basement! We did a lot of things but there were some things that seem to become an every-day "tradition." Every night, we would go to bed and watch approximately half of the Mary Poppins movie. The next morning, we would finish the movie, and then go upstairs for breakfast. That too, seemed to have a tradition - hot chocolate with marshmallow creme, and peanut butter or cinnamon/sugar toast! It was one of the best summers that I can ever remember! I was probably 10 that summer. Kelley was 8, Kaitlyn 6, Melissa 8 or 9, and Brianna 7. A lot of things have changed since then and we have all changed too. But I don't think we will ever forget how Grandma gave 5 little girls the greatest summer of their lives!!!!
So, in honor of Grandma's birthday, we decided to celebrate "the old fashion way"!!!!! Well, not totally! It was the "grown-up" version!! We couldn't do it on Grandma's birthday, because of all of our schedules. So waited until Friday night to do it. We had hot chocolate with marshmallow creme and either peanut butter or sugar/cinnamon toast, all while watching Mary Poppins!

It was fun to re-live those memories and to remember Grandma in such a simple way!!
We Love You, Grandma!!!
