My father in law whom we fondly call Poppy is so amazing and incredibly gifted with wood. He made (along with Grandma Panda's help) each family their own rocking horse for Christmas this year. My kids just love it so much! This horse is so sturdy even I can sit on it. We have named him Philip taken from the horse in the Chronicles of Narnia. Ben says you can only ride on him if you are ready for a Narnian adventure. We are very blessed by Poppy & Grandma's creations.
