Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is always so much fun. We started out the day going to lunch with Grandma Marie, Grandma Knighton, and Kimmy! We went to Marie Calendars, and were able to enjoy some time with Grandma. After that it was off to the Spencer's. They always have a nice dinner, and have a little program. Each of us have to do our part in the program. We all sing songs, read stories, and play games. Singing time is quite hillarious. We had to quit singing "Frosty the Snowman" because we were struggling a bit! It gives us all a good laugh though! Martha likes us to play the bells, and we struggled with that too! I guess we aren't the most musically enclined bunch of people! Chris chose to read "The Night Before Christmas" this year. Shanna was going to read "The Grinch", but instead just had to flip the pages for Taylor. Taylor is 8 years old, and has the ENTIRE story memorized. It is quite amazing. We were all in awe of her! Mark and Joann brought Bingo for us all to play, and had some great prizes to win! Ben and I brought Pictionary, and we all had a fun time with the boys going against the girls! I'm pretty sure the girls won! After all this was done...we had dessert. Rootbeer and Sherbert floats...yummy! Then the wait was over, and Santa finally arrived! The kids loved seeing him, and so did Joann! She even got a kiss! We were all able to open our presents, and pass the ones out we brought to everyone! I think we all enjoyed our gifts! The kids loved their quilts that Grandma made for them. That was a lot of work! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for all the hard work you put into dinner, and the program. It sure makes for a special night!
