Grandaddy Christmas

On our way back to Mobile after the Kentucky Family Christmas visit, Caleb and I stopped in Oneonta for my Mom's side of the family Christmas get-together. I was particularly pumped about this because all the grandchildren had prepared the ultimate gift for our Grandaddy. When each of us graduated from High School, he took us on a week-long cruise. Molly, the youngest, finished up the tradition of cruises this summer, so we compiled all of our pictures and made a coffee table book on Snapfish. Here's the pic of him opening it:

Here's all of the grandkids with Grandaddy and the Book of all Books.

Here's further proof that I ate like a horse over the holidays. This is sheer awesomeness.
And this is Princess Caroline. I call her this because the first time she met me was at our wedding and she honestly thought I was a Princess. To this day, she calls me Princess Tricia, which I LOVE and completely eat up.
Here is a sample conversation between Princesses:
Princess Caroline: "Princess Tricia! Can we go outside and play?"
Princess Tricia: "Ask your mother and if it's ok with her, then sure, why not."
(30 seconds later)
Princess Caroline: "SHE SAID IT'S OK!!!!!"
Princess Tricia: "Ok great! But it's pretty cold outside, so when I say it's time to go back inside, what are we going to do?"
Princess Caroline (and I'm not making this up): "Then I will come back inside, because that's just what Princesses do."

I don't know where she got the Princess Handbook, but she does have Princess etiquette down pat.

Having cute little kids around was so much fun. Reece is now four and does the Robot, the Apache dance, River Dance and can roll his belly on command.
