Today was Grandparent's Day and Peyton's school had a special program to celebrate the event. Peyton was not necessarily happy about going to school an extra day, but he soon got over it when he realized that it was going to be a short day, a party AND he was going to see Grammy, Grand Dad, Maddie and his Mommy!
So when we arrived they showed us to the lunch room where there was snacks and artwork from the kids for us to ow and ah over!
Afterwards we went to meet Peyton in his classroom. Peyton was super excited to see his Grammy and Grand Dad! And he was so proud to show off his cubby space, his assigned seat, and his artwork!
So once the Grandparents had a chance to see the classroom, we headed down the hall to get Grandparents Day pictures taken. It was cute to see Peyton excited to get his picture taken with his Grammy and Grand Dad.
Once pictures were done Peyton told me he was hungry. We had another 40 minutes before he had to return to class so we went back to the lunch room so that he can have some of the snacks. He was pretty excited (just like Grand Dad was) when he saw the donut holes! Peyton and Grand Dad l.o.v.e.s donut holes!
Before we knew it, it was time for Peyton to return to class to get ready for the Grandparents Day performance and for us to go grab a seat at the church and wait. :) Not too long after, the kids came marching in! They were so cute. And Peyton actually gave me a beautiful smile when he saw where we were in the church.
Unlike the Christmas performance, Peyton was really into it this time. He sang all the songs with such enthusiasm. So cute! My honey was so proud!! And we were very proud of him.
*** Peyton, I know one day you will look back on my blog books and look at special days such as this one and wonder about Mimi and Pawpaw. I know it will be hard to understand. It is hard for me to understand and I have been subjected to their religious beliefs all my life. But I want you to know that even though they were not there in person, they really were there in spirit. To them, every.single.time they see you is Grandparent's Day. Mimi and Pawpaw loves you very much. They are proud of you and very proud to call you their grandson. I hope that you won't let their absence taint your feelings of how they feel (or felt) for you. xoxoxo Mommy
