    I didn’t grow up with a mom (or grandma) that baked with me. Watching Gigi have this sweet time with Dad and Blue Nana, and sharing it with us, was such a blessing. Gave me a lil “Blue Nana” in my own life. ❤️

    Since Tyler couldn't come through with us having carpet cleaning or watching paint dry, he had to give the people what we wanted... which is blue Nana content. ❤️😂 shes so lovely!

    Tyler I think I say this every year but man I don't know if it's possible to realize how lucky you guys are to have such a great family. My daughter's never met a relative. The other day she asked me if I ever had a family. Another day asked me if my mom spoke English (I guess assuming maybe the language barrier could be a reason why she'd never spoken to her?) and I would be lying if I said I didn't get a little jealous seeing how amazing Benita is as a mom and grandmother, and Jessica's parents too. Genevieve is so blessed to have all that love around her. What I wouldn't give for a caring family. with even half that much love. 💘🥲

    • @BhappyD

      Hugs to you! The only family I really have left anymore is my mother along with my great aunt and great uncle (who I see twice a year). I can relate to you in the sense that I have other “family” that is technically alive, but are the furthest thing from being considered real “family” and aren’t in my life. It’s a bizarre feeling to know you have relatives out there still in the world, gathering for holidays themselves and living their lives, completely separate from you and your own life, and likely not thinking about you or missing you at all. The holidays are especially hard for that reason, as it’s a huge reminder that your family isn’t like everyone else’s. I am beyond grateful and blessed to have the three family members that I have, but it’s still difficult to know that they are it, especially since they aren’t getting any younger. I’m so sorry you know this pain as well. I am glad that you and your daughter have each other and can make those kinds of memories with each other even if it’s just the two of you, and I’m sure she will understand and appreciate just how special that kind of a relationship is the older she gets.
      My heart and prayers are with you during this season. May God bless you and your daughter! 🙏🏻💕

I'm 66, she's been gone but never forgotten, everything she taught me I carry on and teach others :).

    Aww Blue Nana is the sweetest! She looks a lot like my Grandmother who I miss terribly, especially this time of year. So see her passing down a beloved family recipe to the younger generations, while making memories that will last a lifetime, got me all in my feels tonight.🥲
    I agree Gigi might call her "Blue Nana" because of Frozen or her hair color when Gigi was younger, but Benita has always given me Cinderella's Fairy Godmother vibes personally. She's SO fun, sweet, loving, kind, caring, thoughtful, cheerful, supportive, encouraging, very nuturing, definitely all the makings of a ✨️Magical Fairy Godmother/Grandmother!🧚🏼‍♀️
