As indicated by @DavidD66, it is easily shifted to the grandchildren by writing a letter showing the gift splitting for each person. Keep this with your individual tax returns as proof should you ever need it. This would allow you to forego the Form 709 currently. The key is to keep track of your gifts and as you indicated, it's not likely you will ever exceed the lifetime limit.
