My Grandma Bulthuis turned 88 this past Tuesday. I've always spent a lot of time with my grandma and enjoy going over to her house to talk or play games. I have so many memories of staying at her house when she and my grandpa lived on the farm. I can still close my eyes and picture swinging on the big glider swing, "fishing" in the canal, feeding the chickens, and playing in the play house. Grandma's house was always so much fun! Ethan and I still go there once a week, I help her with grocery shopping and cleaning and she plays with Ethan. I think they both really enjoy that time.
Tuesday night we had a birthday dinner for Grandma at a restaurant in town. My uncle came out from New Mexico and my aunt came from Oregon. Two of my cousins came with their kids and my sister came up from San Diego. We had a great time and a yummy dinner!
It has always amazed me how well Ethan will sit for my grandma. It's like he has always known she is frail and he has to treat her different. He'll quite often sit so nice on her lap, much more still then he will on mine!
Here is Grandma with 12 of her 21 great grand kids.
