Christmas at the Ross estates

After Missouri, we came back to Meemaw and Poppop's for the present-opening gala with Jonas. We got him the Foot Book, one of our faves.



Isaac and I do our best to cheese in front of the Christmas tree:



Jacob was a total treat. Every present to him was a treasure, even non-toys. Here he is opening a new (and MUCH NEEDED) pair of jeans:



I see a future for him as a Christmas elf, the designated present hander-outer. He was very patient. He asked who each present belonged to, then would take each gift to its recipient. And proceed to open it for them.

Here's Isaac in the same clothes-receiving predicament. Note the drama! The tragedy! That Meemaw should DARE give him a pair of jeans instead of a toy!



One of our favorite presents was this dueling karaoke CD thing Meemaw and Poppop found. Isaac and Jacob serenaded us with it right away.



Isaac especially was in his element. Once Jacob had had his fill, Isaac picked up the mic and started a prelude to his crooning. "I'd like to sing a little song for you now. It's about a snowman. Who came to life. His name? Was Frosty." My Rat Pack Christmas mix CD for the car stuck with him, I think.



Jonas enjoyed the blocks we gave him, I hope. But he obviously desired his Daddy's new power tool.



(you'll notice in the background how Jacob is helping Jean open her present). Well, power tool or wrapping paper.



Jacob and Isaac also got scooters. Jacob couldn't wait to take his out for a spin, so we got him all saddled up and cuuuuuute for his first ride.
