We had Matt and Camie's family over for Christmas Eve along with the missionaries who were darling with the kids. They were good sports to join in all the activities we had planned. We had a great dinner, a talent show, the kids had fun doing chimes, acting out the Nativity, opening PJ's from grandma and grandpa, reading christams stories and singing. The kids were sooooo excited and we found Lydia and Lucy tracking Santa's every move on the computer. It was a fun night and is the best night for putting kids to bed. They are so willing to go to bed!! Ha!
We were up by 7:00 and off to church by 9:40. It turned out to be a great day. The kids opened Santa gifts and stockings. Then we enjoyed a yummy breakfast and played with some of the new toys and after church came home to finish opening presents. This year Santa brought Lucy and Ethan bikes, Lucas got a tool box and tools, and Jane got a kitchen set. Santa also brought a basketball hoop to us. They were really excited! Matt and Camie came back for dinner and stayed the night! We had a wonderful day!! And if you can believe it, we didn't have a white Christmas!!!
Our guests for the weekend!! This picture is funny because Camie really wanted a picture of their family but Clayton really wanted to get in his PJ's once he got to our house Christmas night. So he came to his picture with his sweater vest over his PJ's.
