To sign grandparents, use an open '5' handshape with your fingers spread apart. First, touch your thumb to your chin and move your hand forward in two small bouncing arcs. Then, move your thumb to your forehead and repeat the forward bouncing motion. This combines the signs for grandmother and grandfather.
Sign 'grandparents' by combining the forward bouncing motions from the chin and forehead, followed by the signs for 'visit' and 'weekend'.
Point to yourself, cross your arms over your chest for 'love', and then sign 'grandparents' by doing the outward arcs from your chin and forehead.
Sign 'your', then 'grandparents' with the double outward motion from the chin and forehead, followed by 'live' and 'where' with furrowed eyebrows.

Both orders are acceptable and understood. However, starting at the chin (grandmother) and moving to the forehead (grandfather) is a very common and natural flow for many signers.
The sign for 'parents' simply touches the thumb to the chin and then the forehead. The outward bouncing arcs are what add the 'grand' meaning to the sign.
No, 'grandparents' is a one-handed sign. Using two hands would look unnatural and is not standard in American Sign Language.
