the family loft: Christmas in Jax

Christmas Eve

T-ball

Grandmothers comparing notes.

Grandma stealing some sweet Micah Man snuggles. You can't see it in this picture but his onesie perfectly captures my feelings this Christmas, "All my mom wants for Christmas is a silent night." Yes, oh, yes. MikeMike & Bobo--you know so well.

The men setting up the 5th wheel for us to stay in--full house!

One handsome Grandpa.

Uncle Matt.

Ivory & Micah stealing some bedtime snuggles while watching Tinkerbell on Pa's big screen TV.

How can you not love this sight?!

Christmas Day

Ivory opening Micah's stocking--the one she wanted to open first. She better enjoy it while she can, next year he probably won't be so obliging.

Showing Micah the goods.

Mini Santa chillaxin.

My new sandals from my sweetie! I *love* them--and the fact that I live where it's warm enough to wear them on Christmas day! I did have to put socks on that evening...and it actually snowed the next day! That's Florida for you.

The goods from "Ivory's own stocking!"

"Grandaddy open it?"

Micah enjoying the goods from Ivory's stocking.

Brushing her blueberry doll's hair. Nana knows how Ivory *loves* her some blueberries.

Grandaddy's little reindeer.

Of course EVERYONE needed Ivory's help opening their presents--Nana was no exception.

"Put curlers in Ivory's hair?"

A jungle animals puzzle. "That's SO tinsel!"

No shortage of cameras here.

Giving Nana the gift she made for her & Grandaddy. Of course Nana needed help unwrapping it.

Ivory told me what to write on the paper then she colored it and we put it in a special cup for Nana & Grandaddy to cherish.

"Ivory loves (heart) Nana & Grandaddy."

The santa. He is 33 years old. They first used him the year they were engaged, which I recently learned was only 3 months after they met. They were married 3 months later. I guess when you know, you know! And they've still got it going on!
