After the party, we went to say “Hi!” to Jax and Poppa before heading home!

We aren’t going to Jacksonville for Christmas this year, and Rara still had it decorated so pretty… I just had to show you guys!  My Pawpaw built this modern looking barn and Granny made this manger scene… so special!

Rara has worked so hard stitching ornaments for all of us!  She has all the kids’ names on the back of them and has quite the collection.  Her mantle is even more gorgeous in person!

 

Here’s Poppa and Rose with “Happy Apple!” 

Rara even had their presents all wrapped!  I don’t know how Mom does all that she is able to do… she works full time at the office as Dad’s office manager, is the landlord for an entire street of houses (which is a full time job, let me tell you, something is always breaking, or needing fixed, or worse, disputes to deal with and evictions to carry out, crazy!), has several CPA accounts, does hospital, community and church work, takes care of all of us and makes her house so beautiful… I’m in awe!

May the spirit of Christmas fill your home, even if you think no one is looking!
