My Grammy turned 80 last month. There’s a big birthday party planned for her this weekend, but, for a myriad of reasons, we aren’t able to make the trip to be there. So instead, we made her a video. And when I say it took all week, I mean it really took all week. We had a ball with it. And we got to spend lots of time talking about my Grammy and why she’s so special.
Because she is special. She taught me to love Jane Austen, history, family genealogy, tea, crosswords, and snickerdoodles. (Which makes her sound much more British than she is.) She adores her (rather large) family and keeps tabs on all of us. She even remembers our birthdays. Which is why it is such a pleasure to remember hers…

And I’m seriously hoping that she doesn’t see this rather low-quality version of it until after my dad hands her the high def version.
I’m counting on her liking to sleep late in the mornings, a quality I’m certain I inherited from her.
All my love, Grammy! Enjoy your special weekend!
Love,
LL

That was the sweetest video! Thank you so much for sharing. We are celebrating my grandfather’s 80th birthday tomorrow with the whole family. Grandparents are so very special…I feel so blessed for the influence they had in the person I am now.

This may be the most adorable and yet creative video I’ve ever seen. No wonder you’ve been MIA this week! Love it, love it, love it! Great job my friend.

Missy - The first song was the theme song from the A & E version of Pride and Prejudice, which is my Grammy’s favorite movie. The other two songs were by Emilie Mover and were called “Ordinary Day” and “A You’re Adorable.” All three are available on iTunes.
