Above: Cody was our official gift hander-outer. He did an amazing job .

Above: Love the glasses Grandpa!

Above: What? A Red Ryder BB Gun!!!??? Yep, Grandpa Nolden gave the four youngest grandkids a BB gun. They were EXTREMELY stoked. And yes, mom told them they had better not “shoot their eye out!”

Above: Donovan is in a daze. He never thought he would get a BB gun (probably because mom told them they would never get one .

Above: Grandpa Nolden made a calendar for each of the grandkids and made each one special by including photos of things that child was interested in.

Above: The best thing about the BB Guns is that Grandpa Nolden is a Retired Military Man. He was an arms specialist in the Army. He taught new soldiers how to use their guns, and he was even the coach for the “All Army Pistol Team.” So, the boys got some specialized training…with no ammunition…before they were allowed to actually shoot with real BBs. Mom was very happy about this.

Above: Getting instruction from the master.

Above: VIDEO ALERT!!! Watch this video of the boys shooting their guns. Ya gotta love the look on Donovan’s face.

Above: Jesse & Lynn.

Above: Three generations together (Cody, Harley, Frank).
