CHRISTmas Caroles around the tree!

wee E joined in as we sang caroles to the new born King. 

Santa has a way with young and old alike!

 

"I saw Sarah kissing...Santa Claus!!!

Say, did I hear Santa Claus say something about wanting to be in Miami Beach?
Santa must have never heard the Beach Boys sing about the "Northern Girls and the way they kiss...!" He'll come around.

The time has gone WAY TOO FAST!!!
We are thankful, however, for each and every moment.

Blessings to all,

GrandDad Jones 

Who says that CHRISTmas is for kids.... Its for Grandparents!!!

These celebrations with family have been great! One more today (12/26) at Dale & Jodie's.
More to come as far as photos and reflections... but had to post this one from CHRISTmas Day.

Love,
GrandDad Jones

"Well the winter outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful..."

We have three of the five winter travelers under the roof. Sarah & Nathanael along with our darling GrandBaby Evelyn, arrived Monday evening. Meg & Bry will fly in on Thursday.

The days will be enjoyed greatly. I will have to post some new photos soon. (I snuck this photo into an older blog post). It was taken on CHRISTmas Day.

Blessings to you & yours,
Merry CHRISTmas

In the words of Max Lucado (with a twist)..."Its Friday, but Monday is a comin!"

The anticipation of the arrival of the Mosley's & Wolff's is building strength in our hearts!

As I thought of this, my heart was directed to the fact that as we celebrate our Saviour's first advent, we are to be even more thrilled as to His second advent.

Looking forward to the appearing and great glory of our God and Saviour, Christ Jesus!

"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."
Titus 2: 11-14 NAS

Merry CHRISTmas & Maranatha!

I'll be Home for CHRISTmas...

Well, the long awaited photos have arrived. We are so looking forward to this CHRISTmas.
The distance from home and the time between visits, makes the time anticipated so much more special.
The house, and its decorations are coming together nicely, it is however, family & love that make a house a "home". We can't wait to have ya'll in the house! (I mean ...HOME!)
Enjoy the photos...its even better in person!

Love,
Dad to most, GrandDad to one, wee E.,

May I have a drum roll please?!

The long awaited photo of the CHRISTmas lights gracing our home is likly to arrive this weekend on our blog.

As to CHRISTmas, I have decided to always and forevermore, write the word CHRISTmas, as written.

With all the broohaa in the media, and the seeming removal of CHRIST from the season, I shall do my best to be an agent of change.

"And change he did, for there was never a man who could keep CHRISTmas as well as Ebenezer Scrooge "

With Love this CHRISTmas!,

Dad Jones

Jessica & Danielle out for a walk!

This photo was from two weeks ago today. I was working in the yard and with the CHRISTmas lights. Sandra was doing errands, and these two went out for a walk and an outing to Bachman's.
Jessica loves the photo and wanted me to share it with you all.

Love Dad
