A humorous family mystery about a Grandma’s big secret! Kendall and Kayson love going to visit their grandparents and their Grandma’s birthday means CAKE, but how many candles to put on it?

Warm story-telling with a humor and charm that illustrates an understanding of the funniness and peace of mind that is so commonly found in children.

One of my favorite memories with my grandfather on my dad’s side was that on Black Friday every year, he would take my sister and I into the woods behind our house and we would pick out our own Christmas tree and we would chop it down and bring it home on the sled. We would decorate it together while the rest of the family went out shopping. Whenever there was enough snow on the ground, he would take us sledding. There was an awesome, hilly trail through those aforementioned woods and we’d stay out until dark some days, Grandpa making a few trips on that sled himself. He was a soft spoken man with a quiet sense of humor and he is deeply missed
