Some Traditions Must Be Kept

Meet Grandpa Heinz. :) Had to get a pic of him with his bread, butter and honey. He has it for breakfast and lunch every single day, and he is just over 90 years old. :) Guess there must be something to that diet!!! :) He came into our lives the same time as AJ...so that would be 23 years ago. He spoils my Grandma rotten. As he should. He has been a wonderful Grandpa to all of us, even though he had no kids of his own to practice with. :) He taught me how to ride a bike and was there along with Grandma for many milestones. He also spoils us rotten.
Every summer when we went to visit them as kids we would have a box full of donuts waiting for us at the kitchen table before the sun was up. This was such a rarity for us and such a treat we looked forward to. Naturally I shared this little story with the kids about Pops aka Grandpa Heinz.

So...Brad and Grandpa went to get donuts on our first morning. :) They loved 'em. Could there BE any more sprinkles!? :)
