We wanted to spice up gran's December with some weekly holiday fun.
So we headed to her apartment to help her put together her Christmas cards and gifts for friends.
We pulled off labels and wrote out "Merry Christmas" on all her special cards over Panera soup.
Then we donned our festive light-up necklaces for the drive to Fishers!
We wanted to take in a traditional Christmas lights display to bring the nostalgia for gran.
First we stopped at Starbucks for some hot chocolates and gran led us in Jingle Bells at the top of our lungs!
We found a longstanding free display near-by in Fishers at Reynolds.
This free local event brings in nearly 32k in donations for a local food pantry yearly in addition to 600 lbs of food!
Gran proclaimed she hadn't been to one of these in many, many years and that she had never seen such an elaborate story of the first Christmas.
It was absolutely magical.
Gran told us stories about growing up in Pennfield and her father buying a galvanized bucket of hard candies from Sears.
Then the family sneaking pieces until only a half bucket remained on Christmas Day!
She chatted away about cracking nuts on Christmas and all the years of memories and joyful times.
It is such a blessing to have her leading us through this Christmas season.
Great twin & gran night!
