Lawler Christmas

Over the New Year's weekend, we were able to squeeze in one more Christmas celebration down in Chehalis, WA with the Lawler side of the family.

Jack and his Grandaddy starting off things with a smile.

This is a picture of Uncle Al after being scolded for sitting on Nathan's Boppy pillow. "But it's sooo comfortable!"

Nathan loves his Grammy!

Here he is with some of the Great Aunts. Although he was warned about the likely cheek pinching, I don't think he really understood what he was in for.

"More presents? Seriously?!?"

Scoping out the biggest one to be opened first.

But before that, Jack had to help Super Grammy with a birthday present. This was serious business!

Then he got a giant stocking!

First out of the chute was a real cowboy hat!

"Howdy ma'am! How 'bout I open some more presents?"

The complete ensemble: Jack-Man to the rescue!!!

Notice the reaction of the crowd as Jack was doing some gun slingin' with a loaded Nerf blaster.

Determining how the Bernoulli Principle applies to the workings of a slinky.

Jack gets a round of applause for another stellar performance!

Getting launched by Dad!

This is Nathan's quilt along with matching pillow and a Raggedy Andy doll (action figure) that his Great Grammy made for him. It's just perfect and really special!

"Thanks, Super Grammy! I love you!"

Reading a good book with Auntie Jan.

Auntie Elaine (with some behind-the-scene help from Uncle Greg) showed Jack how he could increase his cookie eating efficiency by incorporating his feet.

The super-secret napping area.

Reading a really scary book with Grammy!

And it even had a surprise ending!
