Christmas Day 2008

Christmas Eve we take all the Mosman kids (our neighbors) to a movie and then go to their house for a Fabulous Dinner and a Nativity play. We then come home and open Christmas Eve Presents Which this year surprisingly was PJS! We give a gift to Christ - we write something we are going to work on this year in a Christmas card - like pay a full tithe, be kind to my brothers & sisters and so on - we put these on the tree and they get packed away and we open them the next year! We had a little sparkling cider and Grace put the cookies for Santa down by the fireplace. Jackie and Justin slept upstairs in Savannahs room and the rest of the kids slept in Graces room! They were up at 6:00 to see what Santa Brought and open presents! It was such a great day! We watched movies, played, took a nap, Derek & Steve went and played basketball with some friends and had a nice Prime Rib dinner with the Missionaries. Grace made a birthday cake for Desert to celebrate Jesus' birthday! It snowed all day and we just stayed inside nice and warm!!

Derek was Joseph this year - Isn't he a handsome Joseph!shepherds, wisemen, angels & All
