Jayden hanging out with John Michael & Daddy. Jayden loves John Michael so much, he is the only person she will sit with for as long as he will let her.

Something you might not know about the Bryant family....most are extremely musically inclined. Pappa Ben released an album which played on country radio stations all over some many years ago. Ricky, Ben's dad, grew up with Aaron Tippin and was in the original band prior to settling down to start a family.
As most of you know, my family continue to reside in England, so growing up was hard for me, especially during the holidays. Celebrating my first Christmas with Ben's family, I was amazed to sit in Mama Hazel's back room while Papa Ben & Ricky played the guitar and sang. It was the true sense of country living where family and fellowship come first among all others. As years have gone by, this tradition has faded as families grow larger and people grow older, but it will be a memory I will hold dear to my heart.
