Since we didn't want to confuse Mack with another version of "Grandma" we decided to affectionately call Great Grandma Taylor " G.G." Although this is what Mackenzie mostly calls her, she did call her " Great Grandma" a few times. It was really heart melting for me to be able to see G.G. playing and teaching Mackenzie in the same way she played with and taught us as wee ones.
Mackenzie was a bit shy at first:
But soon took right to G.G.. Here they are "coloring" ( which means G.G. colored the random things Mackenzie thought of (a vacuum was one request) while Mackenzie occasionally scribbled.
My Grandma has always, or at least as long as I can remember, loved butterflies. Her trademark butterfly pin is always perched atop her left shoulder. Since butterflies are also one of Mackenzie's favorite creatures, we made a card that we knew G.G. would love and that Mackenzie would enjoy making.
After a trip into Plymouth to check out a few of our favorite shops, we came back to our house where we baked a very time invasive frozen lasagna ( that took an hour and a half to cook! ). Aunt Janet came and we all had fun just bantering back and fourth. Aunt Janet and Mackenzie had a play date of their own.
The Grandma's chattered back and forth, too:
After dinner, Ms. Hollywood took over the show. She sang and danced and showed the ladies her toys. At once point everyone, including two cats, were all gathering around Mackenzie's Little Tikes table singing " If you're happy and you know it". Truth be told SOME of the ladies remained in Mackenzie's room playing , unaware of the fact that Mackenzie had moved out to the living room.
Here are Mack, G.G. and Grammy saying goodbye to Aunt Janet out the window:
A little "Elf" ( Grammy) left this hostess gift- a little statue that I absolutely love. There's a Mike , Missy and a Mackenzie penguin.
