Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with the Varnell clan, as usual, this year. Christmas was lots of fun with Jonah! He really got into the white elephant exchange on Christmas Eve! Of course, he got into gift giving/receiving pretty easily over all. It was fun to watch him discover our traditions as though for the first time. At one point someone commented that giving gifts sure was fun & he immediately piped in "...that is what Christmas is all about!"

Giving Great Grandpa Mack his gift. 

(Jonah was really excited to learn that his Great G'pa's name is the same as a character from his favorite movie.)

Church with Grammy & Grandpa 

Both boys wanted to go outside with Emily, but had to settle for watching out the window. (they look like they are watching for snow, which was predicted, but never happened)

The kids both enjoyed opening their stockings. 

And playing with their favorite gifts.

Happy 22 weeks to our sweet girl! (Christmas Day)

Sweet baby sleeping in her grandpa's arms! I love this picture.
She fell asleep curled up like that.
