When I think of David’s grandma, I immediately remember her love of dessert. Strawberry desserts, chocolate desserts, pretty much any type of dessert.
When eating out, she would purposefully order a small meal in order to leave plenty of room for dessert. We love this about her.
When he was a child, my husband remembers occasionally stopping at his grandma’s house after school during the holiday season and indulging in hot chocolate and gingersnap cookies. To him, chocolate and ginger smell of Christmas.
In her memory, we brought the tradition of hot chocolate and gingersnaps alive this weekend.
Our daughter, who inherited the dessert-loving gene, savored every moment of our special snack.
Cheers to Grandma! We love and miss you.
How yummy and wonderful! What type of hot chocolate do you use? Miss Leyba appears to be enjoying it with gusto!
yummmmm that sounds like an excellent and tasty tradition that would do a great job of honoring her memory!
The vision of Miss Leyba and the memory of Marilyn, makes my senses come alive. I can smell the cookies and taste the hot chocolate, and see her smiling from above.
I’m so glad you’re keeping this wonderful tradition alive. You’re the best Mom!
Love,
Linda
