Christmas night

Every year at 5:00 we meet at Colby's parents. We eat a traditional English dinner then participate in whatever Doug & Janet have on the agenda. And trust me, it's an agenda! This year went a little like this:

Bon Bon's, games, and singing
some of the bon bons were missing items this year, which is why some of us don't have a hat, and some didn't get a prize. Sad.
Each person had a part to The Twelve Days of Christmas, and we sang the whole song.
It was funny.
This year they added a talent show. They know I don't love doing a talent, but I didn't want to be the only one without one either. Colby & I both did something a little less 'talent-y'.
He showed a picture of his fish he caught in Canada.
And I showed my christmas table topper I made.
As for the rest of them...well, some of them anyway...


Once we get our sillies out, we turn our hearts and thoughts to Christ.
Each of the grandkids play a part in the Nativity.
This year, Noah was a wiseman, Cutler a shephard (he was suppose to be Joseph), and Lexie was Mary.


And then presents. By this time it was 9:00, and our poor kids hadn't even played with anything they had gotten. We made our way home, unloaded the car, and this is what we had to deal with...

So we spent the next 2 hours trying to clean up, organize, and letting the kids play.

Colby + bbq we forgot to take a picture of

Cutler


Lexie + the playhouse

It was another crazy busy day. But it was fun, and we didn't really feel rushed, or scatter brained. We are always so happy to spend time with our families, and are very blessed to live so close to all (most) of them.
We had a great Christmas!
