Grandparents Day!

Did you know there's a special holiday in September to celebrate grandparents? It's September 12th, & it actually corresponded perfectly with my parents' visit to Utah this week! We have been busy reading cute, cozy & wild & crazy tales about grandparents, & then spending time with grandparents, so it has been...grand!
I hope you enjoy this little round-up!
