Christmas on Campus

It has been a while since I have been on campus at Texas A&M. Dad and I decided to take the kids up and look around a little and get them out of the house. Our first stop was the bonfire memorial. I hadn't been to the memorial before. Because the kids were with us, I think that kept our emotions in check. We could not get emotional with two children under foot. I will never forget that November morning, waking up to the news that bonfire fell.

After walking around the Bonfire Memorial, we headed over to look at the big Aggie ring.

Lauren and Papa J playing around.

The kids loved running around the ring.

I love this picture!

Lauren and Papa J.

Lauren ADORES her Papa J. I mean, really, really ADORES him. She just lights up when she sees him. He in turn, adores her too. I guess there is a special place in a grandpa's heart for his daughter's daughter. They have a special relationship, and I can't wait to watch them throughout the years.

Another special relationship to watch is the one between Papa J and Jackson. They are "buddies". Jackson wants to learn from Papa J, and do whatever he is doing. They are kindred spirits, and this grandfather/grandson relationship is a special one.

After looking at the big ring, we went inside the Clayton Williams Center and looked at all of the Aggie videos, and the Aggie ring display. Here, you can see some brother/sister love!
