Magical Pop

Give him a challenge and he will get it done.  If you don't already know, Caroline is not a napper.  I'm happy if we get a combined total of an hour of naptime throughout the day.  He got her to take good naps not once, but twice on his couch.

 And this guy had a full day of jumping on his blowy beds and no nap for 2 days. 

He was a much easier challenge.  Unfortunately I couldn't get the camera out in time but dad managed to sneak a little nap in with Grady about 2 minutes after this shot was taken.

Attempt At A Christmas Card Picture

Here are a few of the ones that were cute but not Christmas card material. Oh Jacksonville, how I love you and your warm weather! And green grass year round...I'll take it!

Thanksgiving Day

Of course the train around the tree was a big hit.  Caroline was mesmerized and could have probably sat there for hours watching it go around and around.

 Mr. Whites made his grand appearance Thanksgiving morning.

Gigi has softened up my dad in ways I never thought possible.  He has a dog.  And a cat.  In the house.  CRAZY!

Caroline and Rocky loved each other, he couldn't get enough sweet baby kisses and she didn't mind one bit.

The family arrived and Grady took everyone's hands and led them straight into the blowy bed room.

Little Miss Amelia learning how cool blowy beds are.  She is going to be a big sister next Spring!  Her little brother is due on Caroline's first birthday.

 Grady brought out his treasure chest of candy that Grandy bought him before we left.  Amelia was introduced to smarties...sorry Natalie and Halston!

Gigi and her beautiful grandbaby.

The Blowy Bed Room

We made our annual trek down to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving last week and look what was there to greet us when we arrived...the blowy bed room! (better known as Pop and Gigi's theater room)

Thanks to a surprise overnight visit from Halston and Natalie's entire youth group, Pop and Gigi now have more air mattresses than any one person will probably own in their lifetime.

Taking a break to catch some cartoons.

And he's off again.

Who needs a trampoline when you have your own padded room?
