A Visit to Beauvoir

www.beauvoir.org  I had a great time with Daddy, Mama, and Grandbob on December 23 in Biloxi, MS  at Beauvoir, the home of Jefferson Davis.   We had studied the Civil War this year, so it was special to learn more about where Jefferson Davis lived, and how Christmas was celebrated in the 1800s.  I met "Father Christmas," made some Christmas crafts and played checkers on a big board...and we all sang in a "Community Sing-Along."  Oh, and we met Jefferson Davis' grandson who manages the home now, oh, and JEFFERSON DAVIS HIMSELF....!

 

Jefferson Davis' great-great grandson.  A Southern pedigree if there ever was one....

 Jefferson Davis taught me that this is how gentlemen posed for pictures back in the day....

Thank you Grammy for hiring a professional photographer to take pictures of all the grandkids together (and Mama and Daddy and I got some of the three of us, too :)

 

 

Christmas with G-Daddy and Grammy

On our way to Lucedale this year, we stopped in Pensacola, FL so that Daddy could do his consulting, and then it was on to Grammy and G-Daddy's!  We spent the whole next day with them, AND Aunt Courtney, Uncle John, John Neil, Rachel, Uncle Eric, Aunt Gina and my sweet new little cousin, HENRY!  Everyone always talks about how cute he is.  My contribution to one such conversation was,  "HE HAS THE FACE OF A GOD!!!!" ;)

Here's a sweet boy who is looking forward to Christmas!  

 

Keaton helped his Mama out with keeping the nursery, and this picture moment  was just too precious to pass up...
