My parents give me, my sisters, and our hubs an ornament each year for Christmas. In addition they give each of the grandchildren one as well. Before they began this tradition, my grandparents, Nana and Tat-tat, did for each of the grandchildren. Then as each of us grew up and moved away we had a childhood full of ornaments to adorn our "grown-up" Christmas trees. I love this tradition and Garrett already has quite a collection of ornaments to cherish from his Neena and Pappaw :) These ornaments are from Disney (of course, right?!)
So, my dad is someone that has everything and wants nothing when you ask him what is on his Christmas list :) He is a tricky one to shop for. As a result, Gerald and I thought it would be fun to get his bicycle restored for his gift this year. His parents gave this bike to him when he turned 10 years old back in 1959! Our talented friend cleaned it up and made it look like new! Dad was very excited and took it for a spin down the street after snapping this pic :)
Although my parents had 3 girls, my Dad somehow managed to survive all the estrogen and even those terrible teen years! I think now looking back he would say it was all worth it. We turned out pretty good, in my estimation :)!! And we love our dad!!
Sarah is a trendy little thing so we splurged on her this year and got her a white coat! She was striking a pose here!
This is my grandfather, Tat-tat, who has always been so wonderful to our family. He is also the one I mentioned above that faithfully gave us a new ornament every year for Christmas. Tat-tat still enjoys going to the New Albany basketball games with my dad, out to eat, and always has/will attend church faithfully. What an example he is and my grandmother were to us! He and my Nana were and still are wonderful grandparents and now great-grandparents. Here are his four great grandchildren who love him lots!
