Happy Birthday Grandpa Bodily

You know, I'm not sure, but I think this is the first birthday party for Grandpa Bodily we've ever been to. Where it's just a couple weeks before Christmas, I think we've barely missed it every year. How nice it is to live close. Chandler and Marissa love Grandpa Bodily. He is a very good grandpa. It's so cute--whenever Chandler is playing pretend, his name is Steve. Whenever he has a stuffed animal to name, it's name is Steve--all named after Grandpa. The kids always want to talk to him on the phone, and he's so good to talk with them. He entertains and spoils them--fun tricks, fun toys and games. The kids REALLLYYY wanted to get a gift for him for his birthday. Well, we all know grandpa likes his chocolate--from lindt truffles, to chocolate potato cake, to fudge, to icecream. So we made him some homemade fudge. I dare say he liked it too. (For those with a recipe book of mine--it was the see's fudge recipe--it's delicious.) The kids also spent the afternoon making special birthday cards for him. Anyway, we're sure glad to have him in our lives. He's a great example and teacher to our family and we love him.
