warm and TOE-sty

I married a man with fabulous grandparents!  Since all my sweet grandparents have passed on, these two have really taken me in and treated me like one of their own.  Great Grandma Alice is quite the baker and crochet-er (is that word?...and I'm pretty sure it's crocheting?).
She made and donated over 2000 pairs of slippers last year for children and people all over the world who are in need. She also donates hats and scarves and makes pretty dish towels and beautiful throws.  There was even an article in the Herald Journal about her and all the service she does.  Yup, she's amazing!  I know the throws she has made my girls will be keepsakes forever! 

We visited Great Grandma and Grandma today and left their house with turkey and rice soup, delicious banana bread, apples, flashlights for our key chaines (thanks grandpa), and some of these fun slippers.  Emmy was SOOO excited.  As soon as we got home we had to put them on!

It was a perfect day for slippers and soup since we woke up to snow on the ground today!





So thanks to Great Grandpa Alice for keeping our toes and tummies warm today!  We love you so much!
