christmas in florida

it wouldn't be christmas morning without me taking some horrible photos.  it's become a tradition.  i kind of like them now.  they're part of our holiday history.

i was especially tickled with how my sister perched her gifts on the couch right behind g's head.  that made for a great composition.

uncle jim got g a a camping survival shovel.  papa said he carried one just like it in korea only it was a little bigger.

 this is my favorite christmas morning photo.  classic papa.

this is the only photo i dare show of my niece and sister.  my niece specifically told me not to take her picture and my sister was still in her jammies (as was i, but i had the camera - ha!).

i think gma was a little jealous of all g's mega candy.

 my baby still gets legos from santa.  aaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww . . . :)

we had lunch at my sister's house, so i got to see my beautiful brown eyed nieces again.

i took 20 photos of my brother in law and his puppies.  he is well trained and knows to keep his eyes on the camera while waiting for his kids to do the same.

showing off their new shoesies.

my sister is collecting quite an impressive collection of christmas yard art.  fun times.  ;)
