Christmas Eve

Jason came again this year. We love having him come visit!

The Nativity....

Kade hadn't made any Christmas Cookies so we decided to make some on Christmas Eve...

We invited the missionaries over for dinner. The boys loved playing with them! This is Elder Lewis...Payton loved him and would follow him around church.

Elder Anderson was new to the mission and wanted to help in the tradition of cookie making...I think he was missing home!

I am a counselor in the YW program at church so one activity I had the girls bring in anything they thought the missionaries would like for Christmas...treats, socks, ties, toothpaste, more treats....we then wrapped each item individually. We wanted the missionaries to have a fun Christmas Morning opening presents so when they left my house Christmas Eve I presented them with this box! They were so excited and told me later they spent 2 hours opening everything! I hope it will be a Christmas they will remember.

Every year the kids get to open a Christmas Eve present......I wonder what it is!?!

Even Jason got one this year ;)

Pajamas!!!

Jolyn and family were not with us but she sent us a present to open on Christmas Eve.

Palm Tree ornaments for every family!! (Palm Trees are my favorite, Thanks Jolyn!)
