Some of Grandpa's best shots ...

I've decided to post just SOME of Grandpa's
best pictures from this past week ...
he really got some good shots that I didn't get at all ...

After their long trip from Austin,
happy faces greet grandpa's camera!
Who is this stranger?
This is Grandma Jones with Jackson!
See! I wasn't stuck in the kitchen the whole time ...
I got to play and have a lot of fun too!
Jackson liked our road rug very much ...
Isn't this great of Adam?
It is so difficult to get a good picture of him!
This is not because he is not good-looking,
it's just that he intentionally messes up pictures we try to take of him!
Emily doesn't like to have her picture taken ...
but Grandpa snapped this really pretty one of her!
This is so cute of them!
And this is so completely typical of these two!

See how cute they are watching Karis?
Some day (no hurry, guys) they will make very fun parents ...
A typical pre-teen pose ...
Livie was pretty exhausted from the trip at this point ...
We don't have any bad pictures of Karis at all!
Karis, all dressed up in her Christmas outfit ...
Livie and I enjoyed playing Christmas carols ...

Karis was all ready to go and play in the snow ...

We had PERFECT snow for play!
The whole family got out there and did
crazy play with the white stuff ...
There was a rousing snow fight ...
Livie was kind enough to give Karis
sleigh rides ...
Uncle Adam was right in the thick of it ...

Andrew and Jackson sharing big hugs Christmas morning ...
Aren't their faces so precious in this picture?
Sabrina showing Karis what Grandma Jones made for her ...

This is the ball that Livie got for Jackson ...
So many nice gifts to open ...
Me, opening our Thomas the Train Lighthouse ...

I think this is so beautiful of Olivia!
And look at Karis tucking her baby in!

This is Livie's last year before she is a teenager ...
I have never seen her so happy
and so grown up ...
Nana and Roy opening their gifts ...
It's hard to get a good picture of Nana ...
she really doesn't like to have her picture taken ...
Good for Grandpa Jones getting some decent shots of them!
Nick and baby girl Nia ...
A nice picture of me and sweet Karis ...

And Nathan Paul always takes a good picture ...
he is completely adorable!

I think this was right after Rachel's
new hairdo was finished ...
Nice of the Jones family ...
Uncle Adam looks HUGE compared to
young Nathan Paul!
Rachel and Nick opening their gifts ...
One last one of Queenie ...

Good job, Mr. Jones!
Your pictures are beautiful!
