Christmas

On Christmas eve we had church in the morning at 11:00. We had only sacrament meeting and it was a special musical meeting. I sang with the choir. I sang a beautiful solo "Born Is The Light of The World." And the primary children sang "If I Were A Shepherd."

I gave a special gift to Laura and one to Jenn. I painted a purple wood wall hanging which I tied string around nails on it to create a heart. Then I hot glued pictures of us friends together on it. "Treasure Friendship." I also included a key chain for each person. Mine is an adorable fox. Laura's is a gentle fawn and Jenn's is a cute squirrel.


Christmas eve dinner we ate our traditional breakfast feast. We had postponed it due to church.
Eggs, bacon, apple cinnamon rolls, german pancakes, orange juice and applejuice. Mmmm.

We sang karaoke for the first time ever as a family! On my new karaoke machine. A gift from Sterling. Fun!

The kids opened a gift from me. A homemade decoration of a gumball machine made out of plastic cups, plastic ornament balls and puff balls. It is to remind them of this year's primary theme "Choose the Right." Or what we did "Chews the right."

The kids opened their Christmas eve pajamas.

And we watched The Santa Clause 2. Part of it. We never last a whole movie in one sitting.

Christmas morning was amazing!
