Christmas 2014

As per the usual, we went to Ohio for Christmas.  It was packed with family celebrations.  Here are some pictures recording the fun.

On the long drive there, Jovie fell asleep watching her movie with her headphones on.
 Jovie got lots of love from Grandparents
 The tradition with the Youngs- making cupcakes for Jesus
 Grandma was really anxious to give her a present when we arrived, so we let her choose one to open
 Hide and seek Olaf!
 Christmas Eve get together with the Hollanders
 Jovie and Simeon

Funny story- Jovie got this tent for Christmas. Grandpa started crawling through the tunnel, and got a little stuck.  That made us laugh hard enough, but then she tried to help him get out by grabbing his hair and pulling as hard as she could, which made him shout.  We all laughed for a VERY long time.

 The biggest and the littlest, working together
 What the men do while we decorate cookies- video games!







 Stockings with the grandkids
 I don't know why, but I think these are the cutest pics of Jovie from Christmas- squeezing her eyes shut while searching the stocking- don't peek!


 I like to try to get a Jeff an Biscuit picture once a year :)
