Happy Birthday GG!!!

This week my Grandma, Sydney's GG, turns 83. At 83 she still lives on her own, drives her own car, has quite an active social life, and still enjoys her crafts. I think that's pretty good for an "old girl" and hope to see it continue for years to come.
Our drive to the "birthday brunch" was not one of the highlights of the day. I was considering turning around when Sydney was still crying 45 minutes into our drive. I honestly do not know how people do it when their kids always cry in the car. We were pretty sure we knew why she was crying & knew we couldn't do much to help her, but it did not make it any easier. She currently has two teeth cutting through (possibly 3) & was not a happy camper to be strapped into the car seat. I prayed to the Nap God to come help her (us) have a happier trip, but no deal. We stopped part way to give her some Motrin, but still no relief (for her or us).
Things improved once we got to Aunt Debbie's, but there were still moments of tears. The picture shown above was not the first picture taken, this was....
Don't take it personally GG, it really had nothing to do with you! Happy Birthday!

Also, thank you Nap God for overtaking our daughter for the ride home.
