(Check out what his shirt says!)
We actually had FOUR celebrations so Jonathan got pretty good at opening gifts by Christmas night. First, we spent Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Schaefer's house.
Goofing with Grandpa Greg. (We aren't sure who did this first!)
A monkey hat from Uncle John and Megan.
It even has a tail!
One of Daddy's favorites when he was little: Peter Rabbit. Thanks Grandma Brenda!
Next, we had our last relaxing Christmas morning, just the three of us.
Dad got him his stocking stuffers: soft basketballs, a football and an elephant with a very chewable trunk.
All eyes on Jonathan as he opens his first stocking.
Next, a curious Jonathan (and Sage) watches as Daddy opens his gift.
I just like his expression in this picture.
The ever shifting moods of a six month old. One minute...
to the next!
Third, we went to a big Christmas dinner with the Sheesley (Chris' mom's) side of the family and my parents and brother. Jonathan was the center of attention for most of the gift opening time. He was also the center of some practical jokes.
Why is everyone laughing?
This is from Great Gram and Great Pappy-- We missed you guys!
He quickly caught on to the concept of "More!"
It looks like a book....
it tastes like a book....
it is a book!
This made us wonder why we even bothered to put a gift inside the wrapping paper!
Allison, Nicole and Laural all grown up.
Megan, John and Brad
And lastly, we spent the evening opening gifts with my family.
Here Jonathan is opening a gift Papa Randy brought back from Great Grandma Betty in Florida.
The best part is, of course, the tag.
Now he is testing Mom's new tea kettle. Yep, it works!
This book is great Granny and Papa! Thanks!
Later that week, Great Uncle Garth and Great Aunt Pattie stopped by for a visit with their son, Brad. Jonathan stayed up way too late but he was a huge help in answering the questions in our game. :)
Check back after the weekend for more pictures of Jonathan in January!
