Bumps Arrives!

My dad, Bumps, arrived on Sunday the 18th. He left Alabama really early in the morning to get here for our morning worship service. This is his third year in a row to be here for our Choir performance at night.
These pictures got so out of order during the upload, but o well, they capture the story of the few days of fun!

Above: After we got home from the concert, we had Christmas together. Kaebrie got a Saint Jude bear that she names Bekah-Bear. She loved it!

Below: Bumps wit Tiff and Kaebrie before the concert.
On Monday, Kaitlynn took Bumps out to meet Boone and let him watch her ride. The new cowgirl hat was his Christmas gift to her. It could not have been a more perfect gift!
Collin rode a little too.
Kaitlynn (and her great hat) and Boone.
Tiff loved his gifts as well!
Kaebrie loves to ride Boone!
This gift brought me to tears. In 1948, my grand-father bought this shotgun. When my dad was 14 it was passed down to him. It skipped the next generation of all girls and my dad just passed it down to Collin. He was stunned! It is not often he is speechless. In this photo is Collin, with his grandfather and a photo of his great grandfather - all owners of this shotgun. What an amazing gift. He was instructed by Bumps to take great care of it and pass it down to a son or grandson at the age of 14. Collin agreed.
On the 19th, we drove up to Canton at sunset for the Victorian city of lights display. The kids had fun riding the merry-go-round.
(Out of order!!) Kaitlynn on Boone.

We had fun taking pictures with the light displays.
Kaebrie said this was the biggest Christmas tree she had ever seen.

I am so going to use this as a blackmail photo one day.







The best part of the night was having fun taking silhouette pictures. These really captures their personalities!



They even got a horse drawn carriage ride!



What a fun few days with a fun grandfather. Thanks Bumps for the special visit. Come back soon!
