Several months ago, Grandmere broke her foot.  The doctor and Grandmere were very patient and tried to let it heal.  However, it just wasn’t doing what it was supposed to.  So, a week before Thanksgiving, she had surgery to put a pin in place.  She’s been doing great with it but we thought it would be in her best interest (and sanity) if we didn’t invade overnight.  We all wanted to see Papa and Grandmere, though.  So we made a quick day trip to their house on the Saturday after Christmas.

We were able to give her part of her birthday gift (okay, Papa’s gift too)…a birthday board.
