Jones family Christmas!

We celebrated at Mom and Dad's on Sunday afternoon/evening . . .

"Nooksack Santa" brought the kids JOHN DEERE TRACTORS and BIKES!
I'm sure Tom is telling Grace some important facts about the tractor . . . "this is a John Deere 7930 . . . Daddy went to Waterloo, Iowa to watch a tractor like this get built, yada, yada, yada . . . "Vince (almost 7 months), Charlie (almost 6 months) and Sy (1 week). 8 grandkids now . . . and it's Emily and Grace against 6 boys! She LOVES her buddy boy. They had just finished singing "Away In a Manger." There is nothing sweeter than hearing these little voices sing to Jesus.Started with 4 of the 8 . . . and we got 7 of the 8 . . . Max was sleeping. Could Grace's smile get ANY bigger or wider?
Vince got a Tonka truck from Emily!
A little girl who could hardly hold all her treasures . . . LOVE the look on her face. She didn't want to put any of it down.
Grace got a water baby (what she asked Santa for) and cradle from one of the Lautenbach boys . . . it hasn't left her side since.A Dad with his PLAIDS. The PLAID family made a comeback again this year . . . only I couldn't find my shirt (you have NO idea how crazy this made me) so it was just Tom and the kids rockin' the PLAID this year.These smiles are my life.Grace LOVES her Auntie Jen-Jen.And a few TOM NOGS to finish off the night.THANK YOU Mom and Dad for such a fun night. The food was incredible, the presents a bonus . . . but the real gift is how much you love us and our kids.
