Throughout my education, I've had the chance to spend a day with my grandparents when they are invited to school as we celebrate the blessing of these people in our lives. I always looked forward to having my grandparents visit me and I was so happy when they would help me color and sit with me in class.
This chance continues at Trinity. You see here...
... as BOTH sets of my grandparents were able to visit me today, I'm feeling pretty spectacular and special.
Grandpa and Grandma Smits arrived last night and took Ben and I to Buffalo Wild Wings for supper. Gramps enjoyed his first visit there and loved trying wings! We got back to campus and played our favorite card games at the BBC. Cards are a staple for Smits family activities, Grandpa and Grandma have diligently and patiently taught each and every one of us to play Shanghai and Golf. These games have become so traditional we play after church, on girls nights, at the cottage, and even played on our big family trip to Cancun last Christmas.
Today Grandpa and Grandma Hoffmann arrived and I met up with all four of my grandparents for chapel and lunch. They filled me in on things happening in Waupun and Oostburg; how my great-grandmas are doing and what my teeniest little cousins do to make them laugh on Mondays. I appreciate this, especially because being at school entitles me to even less time with my family in Oostburg and Green Bay than when I was living at home. I am so looking forward to spending time at the lake with both sides of my family. This is the first time my Hoffmann grandparents have seen me at Trinity and I was happy to show them my home away from home-I think they left with a new appreciation for this place, it has sure gotten bigger since Auntie Kiki was a Troll!
All the visitors I get at Trinity bring me one thing every time-cookies.
It seems as if everyone knows I am a sucker for that chocolate chip goodness.
My Grandmas are making sure to keep me chunky! :)
I am so blessed to have loving grandparents that share their love and their knowledge of God's love with me!
Thanks to all my Grandma's and Grandpa's for one GRAND Wednesday!
