Easter Fun - part 2!

We always try to take as many family pictures as possible whenever we are together. This is a picture of Kelsey, Ethan and Riley with their Great-Grandma Denkers. Here are most of the Denkers great-grandchildren with their Great-Grandma and Grandpa Futrell.
And my most favorite picture of the night goes to Kelsey and her Grandpa Denkers.
Their is a story behind this picture! Caden is not fond of taking pictures but he thinks his Uncle Chris is the best! Actually he believes his Uncle is a Jedi Master! A few months back, Caden stayed with us while Jeff and Denise where in Hawaii.
Chris bought one of those "snuggie" blankets that you see on T.V. You know, the one that has sleeves and looks like a choir robe. He knows I am constantly cold! Of course, when we opened it up and tried it out for the first time, it had so much static electricity it in, I could hardly stand to touch it! This is where the Jedi Master comes into play.
Uncle Chris and Caden played swords all day long and would use the force on eachother. Chris had the brillant idea to use my snuggie to his advantage. Chris wrapped it around his arms, rubbed it back and forth
and created even more static. He called Caden into the room and started playing again. He told Caden that he could "shock him" with his force. Of course, Caden didn't believe him. So Uncle Chris went right up to him and touched him. I didn't know Caden could jump that far! He was amazed. Uncle Chris was able to shock him a few more times before Caden finally realized that Uncle Chris really was a Jedi Master.
Now, whenever we see him, Chris always asks Caden if he would like to feel the force again. He always denys. He is so convinced that Chris has this power, not even his dad Jeff can change his mind!
