Today's for you!
We want you to feel special,
To know how much we love you --
Yes, we do!
Yes, we do!

You are Special
(to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Grandparents, it's plain to see
You're as special as can be.
You bake cookies, hold our hands,
Take us fishing, and play in the sand.
Grandparents, we're here to say,
"We love you," and "Today's YOUR day!"

Grandparent's Day Song
(to the tune of "You Are My Sunshine")

Grandma and Grandpa,
Grandma and Grandpa,
You make me happy.
You make me laugh.
You like to hug me.
I know you love me.
And I will always love you too.

My Grandparents' House
(to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb")

I am going to my grandparents' house,
My grandparents' house, my grandparents' house.
I am going to my grandparents' house,
We'll have lots of fun.
Grandma likes to bake with me.
Bake with me, bake with me.
Grandma likes to bake with me.
We'll make cookies -- wait and see.
Grandpa will read books to me,
Books to me, books to me.
Grandpa will read books to me --
Or maybe I'll read to him!
They'll both play a game with me,
Game with me, game with me.
They'll both play a game with me.
I wonder who will win.
They'll hug me tight before I go,
Before I go, before I go.
They'll hug me tight before I go,
And say, "We love you so."

Grandparents Day Song

(to the tune of "Take me Out To The Ballgame")

Let' go see our Grandparents
Take us there for awhile.
Mommy and Daddy both need a break,
We'll play games and we'll stay up real late!!!!!!
Oh, we'd like to thank our Grandparents
For all the things that they do.
So it's time to say...... "You're the

BEST and that WE... LOVE.... YOU"..... !!!!!!
