Grandchildren and Christmas - Life is Good!

What a fun week we have had. Our daughter in law Hester came up early for graduation for us to have a little extra time with our grand kids, Jacob and Kinley. We are so grateful to Hester for giving us that time with them! We can't begin to express how much it meant to us to spend this week with them! Since we have been here in NC, we don't get the chance to spend as much time with them as we would like, so we are so grateful for opportunities like this one! And we are so grateful to Hester for giving it to us! We had the best time! Jacob is almost 3 years old and is so inquisitive...Everything is "Why?" and when you answer that question he always has about 10 more for you! He is so cute! He gave us much to laugh about this week. Tommy, Chase and I are still quoting several of his comments! Kinley is 15 months and is so pretty and sweet...I don't think I will ever be able to have applesauce again without hearing her sweet little voice saying "appy sauce". We also made it out to Frankie's one night while they were here. We had loads of fun just following them around and watching the amazement in their eyes from all the games and lights they saw!

Jacob was really good at the Basketball game:)

Jacob and Kinley loved playing skeeball with Aunt Chase!

The balls were going everywhere!! We all had a blast! :)

We also had our Christmas time with the grandkids while they were here. Gerie and Billy arrived on Friday for Tommy's graduation, so we had 3 of the 5 grandchildren here with us. Although we missed Hannah and Kaleb being here, we were so thankful to spend time with Billy, Jacob and Kinley!

Jacob said that he wanted Mimi to get him a scooter for Christmas!

So Obviously Jacob got a scooter! :)
I am pretty sure he really liked the scooter...He rode it inside, he rode it outside, he stood on it while he watched TV! The only thing he didn't do when he was on the scooter was sleep :)

Aunt Chase provided all the safety gear...Helmet and knee pads! Kinley's gift from Granddaddy and Mimi was a shopping cart!

She looks happy :)

Aunt Chase got Kinley a baby doll to ride in her shopping cart!
So cute :)
Billy wanted a bike from Granddaddy and Mimi! He looks so big sitting on there!

Aunt Chase gave Billy a helmet as well...Here is Brian and Gerie helping Billy with the pedaling!!

We had a great time watching the grandkids enjoy their gifts!! And we are so thankful they were here to help celebrate Tommy's graduation too!!
