We got pictures of the kids in their Christmas PJs.
The girls and Alan sang and played songs at the retirement home called the Springs.
We went to see the movie Sherlock Holmes and we all enjoyed it.
We went to Mo's and had clam chowder, it was very tasty. We tried to feed the gulls but there were more black birds than anything else and not too many of those.
We all took turns cutting the tree down. It was an adventure just finding a farm open to cut it down but we lucked into one that let us do it even though they were closed. He was happy to get our $40 4 days before Christmas!
We celebrated their birthdays while we got together today. The Evertons came over and we had soup, chili, hot chocolate, and veggie plates.
This week was a lot of fun at work. We had a sock exchange and because they don't make Christmas socks in size 15 our boss got a Santa hat instead. We had food and treats everyday and I have gained 5 pounds from eating all the cookies, fudge, candy, fruit cake, and pecan pie. The kids gave and got gifts and we did too. I love this season of giving and remembering Christs' birth! Happy holidays everyone ! )
The annual meet/eat/and gag gift was tonight at the Hansens' house. The Gravels, Snooks, Browns, Lawlers, Nancy Grace, Warrens, Nuttalls, Hansens, (including Dawn, Ben, and Becca), and a few new ward members we met.
There were lots of good things to eat! I want a couple of recipes.
Dawn got one of our gifts and really liked them.
Last night was our ward Christmas party. We are so big we had to do it in the Stake building so it was hard to even know who was there. We sat with the Batemans and Chandra.
