We don't generally make a huge deal out of all the "hallmark" holidays like Sweetest Day, Boss's Day, etc. However, we do really like to use Grandparents Day as a way to thank Ron and Peg for all their help throughout the year. Of course, our kids enjoy spending time with all their grandparents and they are lucky to have many people who love spending time with them. However, because Ron and Peg are local, they really are able to help us out a lot, and not only able, but also super willing. It is so appreciated that they watch the kids once a week to give me a day off and also give us a monthly date night where they keep the kids overnight. As almost any parent of small children will attest, being able to sleep in without worrying about your house being destroyed is more precious than gold. So we invited them over for dinner as a thank you for all the ways they help us. We had hoped to do this last weekend near actual Grandparents Day, however Hannah was sick. So we did it today instead. It was nice to be able to show them how much we appreciate them and also spend some time together.
