As a new step mom to two, I am generally caught by surprise at all the different holidays I am suppose to know about. Well if you are wondering, I did some "Googling" and this is what I found:
National Grandparents Day originated with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes. She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to learn from the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide. President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
So I poured through all the craft stuff and this is what we put together ...
Hand painted coffee cups - oh boy that was interesting.
Cocoa Rice Krispie Treats - not sure who ate more, them or the receivers
Handmade Cards
The boys seemed very excited to give the gifts and in the end that is all that matters.
Happy Grandparents Day!!
