How Will You Celebrate Grandparents Day on Sunday?

The first Sunday after Labor Day has been dedicated to grandma and grandpa since 1978.

What happens at Grandma's house, stays at Grandma's house. It only works when the kids remember to wipe the chocolate off their chins before they get picked up, though.
