Happy 80th Grandma Olsen!

This is my sweet grandma Olsen. Monday was her 80th Birthday! She had an open house up at her house with her family and friends. It was so good to see all the people that came to show their love for her. She is the best Grandma ever! One of my favorite memories of her is when we were younger my grandpa would go out of town. When he did she would invite me and my cousins over for a sleepover. We would always have a little tea party. She had a real mini tea set that she would make hot chocolate in, and then she would make us some toast to dip in the hot chocolate. I loved it! She would almost always let us take a bath in her big tub, and she would always let all of us sleep in her bed and she would go sleep on the couch! I will always remember those fun sleepovers! She is also famous for making my whole family's adorable Christmas socks. She would work on them all year long and then at our Christmas Eve party's she would fill them with lots of little presents and give them to us. They are amazing, she would work so hard on them. She made one for every one of her grand kids and many for her great grand kids. My kids just happen to be her favorite so she made one for each of them! j/k by the way! Anyways we still have all of them and they are in great shape. My Christmas sock will be celebrating it's 32nd year!!! {mine was the first one made} I love my Grandma so much! She is such a sweet lady, and only gets better with age. We are so glad that she is feeling better, and we enjoy every moment we have to spend with her. We love you Grandma Olsen!! Happy Birthday!!!

Your so lucky to have a grandparent still alive. My parents are old and I was the youngest so I didn't have my grandparents around as I got older. My kids are lucky their grandparents will be around for awhile. Cute Christmas sock idea too.
