We went to see the lights at Bellingrath Gardens last Saturday night. It was the same night as the SEC Championship game in which Georgia and Auburn were playing. Unlike previous years, it was pretty busy with all the Bama fans. Jeremy did his typically off-the-chain job of making every second of the adventure something magical. She wore her Christmas dress. We took Grammy and Grandpa. Her babies were buckled in the backseat. We got there, and he immediately bought her the necklace at the register with LED Christmas lights. Then we got her a wagon for her to ride with her blanket throughout the gardens.

One of the first scenes is the rose garden full of massive butterflies aglow with Christmas lights. It was in full bloom. All the roses looked and smelled spectacular. Jeremy asked SJ if she liked the flowers. And in typical form, she replied:

“Dad, I did not come to look at flowers.”
