Celebrations began with dinner and then we moved to the basement where we had the little ones re-enact the nativity. Easton didn't care what role he played as long as he got to hold the shephard's crook. Sydney took to baby Jesus, Molly loved holding the star, and Tristan wanted very little to do with the whole thing. (Todd made a great donkey.) Jim shared with us some thoughts from "Jesus the Christ" concerning his birth. Afterwards it was "new jammies" time!
On Christmas Day everyone came over in the afternoon for gifting. It was fun to see how thoughtful everyone was. We have all been so blessed this year in spite of trials. We are so grateful to have children that love the Lord and are grateful for Christ's humble birth and mission on this earth.

Christmas Bonanza 2008 at McGuires'
The Christmas Bonanza this year was a blast! The basement at McGuires' was filled with partiers of all ages. Some were mostly happy. One was not (see pic below). After delicious food, awesome videos from each family, singing Christmas Carols, etc. we welcomed Santa Varnell. He passed out terrific gifts and entertained us with his wit and wisdom. We are so glad he came and we are so glad all of you came, too.
