Nicholas fell in love with the witch that sings, dances, and twirls around we bought for Halloween.  He was frightened at first but soon warmed up to it since Daddy started calling it Nana.  Nicholas is constantly looking up where she sits.  Nicholas was in front of the real Nana and Daddy goes where's Nana and he looked right at the witch.  Pap Pap & Daddy get a kick out of it every single time.  Nicholas picks her up and carries her around and gives her kisses.

Nickie captured a pic on her phone of Jordan & Nicholas waking Grandma up for the day.  Mommy & Daddy got to sleep an extra for minutes.  Thanks Nickie!
