Christmas 2023

 On December 23, Little Christmas Eve, we did our family Christmas party. 

We had one of the most DELICIOUS breakfasts I've ever had! 2 breakfast casseroles, Kneaders french toast and all the toppings, banana pancakes, tons of muffins, German pancakes bacon, sausage, chocolate milk, orange and apple juice,  Everything was so yummy!

The boys, they like Zac to sit with them now!

  

The girls

The adults

Since we are doing a trip to Bear Lake again for everyone's gift, I just do little gifts that I wrap and we play a white elephant game.  The kids love it!

I bought a bunch of extra gifts that they were welcome to exchange for if they didn't get something they liked. (I was glad I did,)  After that we did the cousin gift exchange.  

Then we did the Nativity.  Jordan is so fancy he did this picture of Savannah.

On Christmas morning, we went to all our kids houses.  We started with Krista's.  They gave their kids luggage and a surprise trip to Oregon to visit Tatia.  Krista had their luggage all packed and they left right after breakfast.  What a fun surprise!

Lani and I visited Kathy Plaster and Jaylena

Then Jamie and Josh's families

We ended our visits with Jordan's family.  Such a great tradition, we love seeing everyone on Christmas!  We are so grateful this time of year for our Savior's birth and his life.

Merry Christmas!
