Nick's Grandma Sundsmo (Eli's Great-Grandmother) "Gram" passed away today after a long battle with Cancer. I am so thankful to have had the pleasure of getting to know Grandma Sundsmo.
When Nick and I lived in our apartment and Gram was still living in her house, Nick would go over to help with snow removal whenever he could. One time after he had finished cleaning up the snow for Gram, in his blue jeans, he walked into the house and Gram noticed his pants were soaking wet. This tiny little lady got Nick to take off his pants so that she could put them into the dryer for him. He hung out with his Gram, in his undies, until his pants dried. Oh, what a sight that would have been!
Gram was know for her cookies and while I do not bake cookies very often, I will always remember her tips for a successful batch of cookies! 1. Make the dough a day ahead of time and place in the fridge over night. 2. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer before using. 3. Use parchment paper.
Gram was a huge fan of the Vikings. She would watch every game and even take notes as she watched. She had years of notes books filled with details of every game!
Rest in peace Gram. You will be dearly missed!
