Donna kelce is proud to see the kids her grandchildren are growing up into. The proud NFL mom, 71, to Travis and Jason Kelce tells PEOPLE that it’s been a blast seeing the world get to appreciate Jason and wife Kylie Kelce’s three girls — Bennett, 10 months, Elliotte, 2½, and Wyatt, 4.

Donna Kelce Opens Up About Seeing Grandkids from Travis Kelce and Taylor swift, as age is no longer on her side

“I like seeing Wyatt’s articulate, confident growth into her own identity,” Donna shares with PEOPLE while detailing her holiday partnership with Aramark Sports + Entertainment. The grandmother, whom the girls call Dee Dee, also celebrates “Elliotte’s sweet disposition and loving nature – while still showing traits of a toddler.” “And Bennett’s [got a] chill, independent, and happy temperament,” she concludes.

While discussing her partnership with Aramark Sports to bring the “old-fashioned bake sale” to her son’s team’s stadiums on Christmas Day — raising money for the Eagles Autism Foundation in Philadelphia and Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City — Donna also talked about baking with her oldest granddaughter.


“Baking is a wonderful activity to do with family and friends, and now I have a little helper in Wyatt,” she raves. “I look forward to passing on my tips and tricks to the girls so that they can eventually pass these traditions on to their own families one day.”

Last month, Kylie caught up with PEOPLE about her holiday plans and shared how much Wyatt was enjoying getting to help out in the kitchen. “My oldest just got to do the Mama Kelce dinner rolls at Thanksgiving. So now, she thinks that she is the queen of the rolls,” Kylie laughed. “So, I think for our Christmas meal, she will end up helping my mother-in-law again because they absolutely nailed it. They were outstanding, as usual.”
