Exactly! My money is to be spent while I'm alive. I want to see the smiles and happy faces of my grands having what they wanted but never expected to have. They are so appreciative and never take it for granted. I do treat the parents too sometimes. LOL

So true! I have two grandsons, and they are different as night and day. The older one is kind and considerate, but also really private and flies below the radar. The youngest will be 16 tomorrow, and we have always been joined at the hip. I seem to be his person, his shelter, he confides in me, and truly has made me know the definition of unconditional love. He's not opposed to asking for what he wants, and will say I don't have to get it for him, but would like it if I did. They both are grateful for everything I have given them, but have never expected it. They sure are gems and I'm lucky to have them!

LOVE my grands and my greats! I have been lucky enough to have been able to Babysit all of them at some point in their lives. And even though 4 of them are grown now they still know where the "goody" jar is. And that picture says it all.
