10 years ago today this lovely lady left us. Not a day goes by that we don't miss her terribly. Tonight we had a little party in her honor.
We wore silly light up glasses since she loved goofy stuff.
Had a kid table
and a grown up table.
We had a joke gift exchange.
Grandma loved joke gifts and we always exchanged silly gifts on Christmas eve.
Pa got a Bozo
Lauren got a squirty ring
I got a giant coloring book
Hads got fake dog poop...but shhh, don't tell Auntie Meg, she's going to try and trick her:)
Carson was so excited to open a gift, he wasn't thrilled to be #7 in the line up and kept saying, "opie opie (open)". But finally it was his turn!

Then for dessert we made Cherries Jubilee. I remember Grandma lighting it on fire and thinking it was the coolest fanciest thing ever.
The kids loved the flames, weren't overly thrilled about eating it, though once they tried it they found it was really good. I forgot how good it is- we'll definitely be making it again!
Thanks for all the great memories grandma and for teaching us to make lots of our own.
xoxo

That looks like a fun night. Such a fun way to remember your Grandma Charlene. We all miss her lots!
You are keeping her spirit alive... and she's smiling down on you. And so very, very proud.
Oh, and I was totally 'tricked' by the poop. Hads is quite the jokester.
