Granny's birthday dinner


We had an early birthday dinner for Granny tonight at Uncle Denny's place after spending the entire day at the lake with Granny and Uncle Denny. Dennis enjoyed taking a walk with Granny and playing construction site with her, and I know she had as much fun as he did. Of course I was happy to listen to all her raving about how special Dennis is since I totally agree. She got to hear him sing and saw him point out some letters and read a word, and she heard him saying his night night prayers at nap time. She heard him recite the Lord's Prayer in its entirety and was super impressed--Dennis loves this prayer. He also said the blessing for us at the table for both lunch and supper, and he helped me clear the table and load the dishwasher. He had some moments of wildness, naturally, but he was good today and so much fun. I'm so glad we all had such a good day, and I hope Granny's 80th is a perfect day when it rolls around on the 21st.

The cutest part of our day involved Granny teaching Dennis to snap beans. She brought these from her garden and they were delicious. And Dennis is one excellent bean snapper.
