Big Papa's Celebration

This past weekend we celebrated Big Papa's (my Papa's) 80th birthday!



We kicked off the weekend with a dinner at our house.



Papa ate up the time with his great grands!



and gigi enjoyed the time she had with baby shep!



Big Papa read a Christmas Story to Emily about the birth of Baby Jesus.



We all enjoyed the time we were able to spend with each other!



After dinner we went to Flowers to look at The Christmas Lights. Christian enjoyed his view very much! He was very attentive.



Here are Kevin & Cousin Chad showing off their pride and joy!



Tyler enjoying his Big Papa!



And uncle Keith enjoying sweet Emily!



Here is my cowgirl!



And Uncle Rick Loving up on His Kaitlin Jane!



Papa eating up time with Emily Grace. I wonder how old she will be when she gets her first horse!




Emily is a natural horse lady for sure!



Who doesn't love Chad? Emily asked for him all week long!



Big Papa with his great grand Emily Grace



The coolest thing about last weekend was we had so many baby sitters! Including Ty Ty!



Christian & Daddy got some quality time!



And the whole crew got to hang out!



I even got to ride with Emily for the first time!



I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this! Emily was two before she rode for the first time!



This is after Chad, who promised to lead Chrissy, left her riding solo with Tuffy leading the way back to the barn. Chrissy is a better spirit than I!



Here are all the great grands minus Aiden.
