Wherever you may roam, this gnome will pray for you

It was Jordan's moms (Diana)  birthday on Tuesday.  We were wondering what we should get her, and Jordan said we should get a garden gnome.  I laughed, thinking he was really funny, and just joking.  But he wasn't.  He was quite serious, and on Monday  morning he went on an extensive search to find one.  One trip to St. Johns later, we have Arbuckle the garden gnome. (Jordan came up with the name.)
We loaded the kids in the van, and told them our mission was to hide Arbuckle and another yard decoration that Jordan bought without Grandma knowing, and then have Grandma look for them.  She spoiled our plans just a bit by being outside when we got there, but we still had fun hiding her gifts.  Of course, when Diana was looking for them later, Miles had to say, "It's over there Grandma!" 
We all had a good laugh over her unique gift, and Diana loves her gnome.  She placed him by the garage and said his job is to pray over Dave's comings and goings.  

This is the other yard decoration we got Diana.  She said that the top frog is definitely Vance!  He climbs everything!
