Joe spent Christmas with his momma’s side of the family this year, in Fayetteville, N.C.

Here he is keeping an eye on things from his new chair.

Spending some quality time with his Nana.

Swapping stories with Papa.

Joe’s great-grandfather, Grandy, was the special guest for the holiday. We all celebrated his 99th birthday a few days after Christmas.

Joe hasn’t figured out the stocking thing yet.

Joe became a character in one of his cousin Abigail’s capers.

Like any good Christmas, food and presents led to a pile of spent bodies on the floor. Notice that Aunt Amy is smelling Lia’s foot.

Thanks for the hospitality Nana and Papa!
