As many of you may have experienced, when the first grandchild is born, you cannot wait to take them to the circus and other experiences. It is joyful to watch their eyes light up as they see things for the first time. And of course, you take them as soon as you can.

Each year at the holiday season I try to share gift ideas. This year was difficult as usual for grandparents as we really don’t want anyone to spend money on us.
