Last weekend Grandad #1, Grandad #2, and Grandma Dixie were able to come up for the weekend to visit us. We were all planning on watching Jacqui march in her first ever parade with her dance class... but she got sick, and so we had to cancel the 'festivities'. She napped most of Saturday while Grandad #2 showed us how to play 10 pennies. We printed out the rules off the internet so there would be no creative rules made during the game... just keeping Grandad honest! By Sunday Jacqui was feeling much better and was able to open her present from Grandad #1 and from G&G. Grandad #1 shipped her a chest all the way from India. It is made of Rosewood and all the detail you see on it is inlayed wood. What an amazing chest. She will appreciate it very much once she grows older. When we opened the chest, which was no small task, it took maybe a 1/2 hour, and then Jacqui asked, "So now do I get to open my real presents?!?" G&G gave her a book and a light sword that she was very impressed with, and she played with those, while all the rest of us admired the chest.

Jacqui- what a cool chest! It reminds me of your mom's dolphin (or is it whale?) coffee table. It is beautiful and will be even more special when your own kids get it from you! That was a nice gift from grandad #1! We are looking forward to seeing grandad #2 and grandma next weekend :)
