Donna Kelce, the proud grandmother of three, is relishing the joy of watching her son Jason Kelce’s daughters grow into remarkable individuals.
At 71, the NFL mom expresses her delight in witnessing the unique qualities of Bennett, 10 months, Elliotte, 2½, and Wyatt, 4, as they continue to captivate the world.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Donna, affectionately known as Dee Dee to the girls, opens up about her granddaughter Wyatt’s articulate and confident development into her own identity.
She also celebrates Elliotte’s sweet disposition and loving nature, highlighting the charming blend of toddler traits. Donna concludes with admiration for Bennett’s chill, independent, and happy temperament.
Apart from sharing family moments, Donna discusses her recent holiday partnership with Aramark Sports + Entertainment, emphasizing the collaboration’s goal of bringing an “old-fashioned bake sale” to her son’s team’s stadiums on Christmas Day.
The initiative aims to raise funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation in Philadelphia and Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City.
During the conversation, Donna shares her love for baking and mentions her newfound baking partner, Wyatt. “Baking is a wonderful activity to do with family and friends, and now I have a little helper in Wyatt,” she expresses.
Donna looks forward to passing on her baking tips and tricks to the girls, envisioning the continuation of these cherished traditions in their own families one day.
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Kylie Kelce, Jason’s wife, also touched upon the family’s holiday plans and highlighted Wyatt’s enthusiasm for helping out in the kitchen.
Wyatt’s involvement in creating the “Mama Kelce dinner rolls” during Thanksgiving left a lasting impression, making her eager to contribute again during the Christmas meal.
The Kelce family’s holiday traditions and the genuine bond between Donna and her granddaughters underscore the warmth and joy that family moments bring to their lives.
