This year for Christmas was the first year in a while we had the whole family together. Every year we get together on Christmas Eve and make homemade pizza, this year we decided to take it easy and let Papa Murphys do the job. They make great pizza over there! After we have eaten till we can't eat anymore, we pull ourselves from the food and have a program. Lauren and Phil were in charge this year and I thought they did a great job. Phil played the guitar, Tate told a story, Ben read Luke, Dana prepared a story, Dad and Jesse sang Silent Night in German the way it was originally written, Marshal read about Samuel the Lamenite and I sang while Lorraine played the piano. After the program we are aloud to open one present and it is always matching jammies, then we model them and then eat some more. We end the night getting comfy and watching the Nativity. Ben and I went home after that and spent 3 hours putting together Alivias doll house while watching Its A Wonderful Life. We got to bed at almost 2 in the morning! It was worth it.
