Christmas Celebration!!!

SORRY FOR THE FUZZY PICTURES BUT THAT'S HOW IT GOES SOMETIMES...
Christmas eve day was wonderful!!! The grandkids got to come over for most of the day.
We had a great time making grahm cracker houses.
The kids would dip their grahm crackers into some chocolate and try to make the sides stand up together to form the base, then they worked on geting their house tops on.
That took a little help from the moms.

After we finally got the houses together the kids took the candy and vary carefully put it on their houses in just the right place. They didn't want any help with the candy. They each had an idea and they wanted to do it themselves.. They would carefully find just the right place for each piece. Merric even had a gummy worm as a slide coming off his house. What an imagination!!


Kamden never did get his house done but he sure injoyed dipping his grahm crackers into the chocolate and eating them!!


They all did a great job on thier houses and they were really proud.






GREAT JOB KIDS!!!

After all the dads and grandpa got home from work we had a great dinner that everyone helped with and then the kids acted out the night Jesus was born.
Cierra wes Mary,( a stuffed bear was the baby Jesus because I don't have any dolls at my house anymore except for barbies ) Kamden was Joseph in the brown gown, Merric was our wiseman, he is in blue and Brocka and Breein were our shepherds.

It was interesting how quiet they fot while they were acting this out,



because before and after they were full of energy and excitement.................



When it skit was over it was time for gifts. We are so glad everyone could come. It was great to have most of our children and greandchildren in our home at the same time. We miss you Hyrum, Christa and Bianca and Leah, Steve, Timmy, Tommy and James. We love you!!

Merry Christmas everyone.
