Merry Christmas everyone. I pray Santa was good to you all. He sure was good to Jacob. Santa brought him a tent, a rider, and a rocking zebra. Uncle Rob and Aunt Amanda gave him an Elmo chair. He was so tired from playing. We still have the family Christmas coming on Saturday so he'll probably getore,,,,geesh! Love to all, Ashraf, Mandy, and Jacob

Deck the Halls

Jacob helped Nona decorate her house for Christmas. He really liked how the ornaments tasted. He has a short fuse because he got tired of putting ornaments on the tree so he started throwing them on the tree. Nona loved it anyway. Which is so funny because when we were growing up you couldn't play when it came to Christmas decorations. But Jacob can do anything.

Charlotte Christmas

We just returned from our annual Christmas trip to Charlotte. Jacob is getting his molars so at times he was grumpy. Here he is with his Nona.

All Jacob's cousin took their turns outside for pictures. They look thrilled don't they. I have to admit we have some gorgeous kiddies.

Found Ashraf.............napping with Uncle Jack

We really did have a wonderful time. I'm always so excited about the Christmas in Charlotte. As a child that was one of the BEST things about Christmas. I sure miss my Mamaw and Papaw, but I love my family so much.

Ok, so I think we have agreed that this will be an OK sitting spot for "little man". I think it lasted a total of 10 minutes and he was back in the doggy bed. Now we know what to get him for Christmas, right?

I'M ANGRY!!!!!!!!!! Daddy is trying to tell Jacob that the doggy bed is for the dog not little boys. I don't think he cares.

Jacob loves Precious' dog bed. Precious of course hates to share anything with Jacob especially her bed. He looks up to something doesn't he?

The Birthday Boy

Jacob turned one on September 29th. We had a crowd of family there to help us celebrate. I still can't believe my baby is one. Everyday he seems to grow more. I wish our family in Egypt could be here to witness the blessing that is Jacob.




This outfit was a birthday gift from Uncle Rob and Aunt Amanda. We loved it so much we used it for his birthday photos.
