Christmas Eve 2010

We had a wonderful day Christmas Eve. Brogan woke Vylett up early early in the morning and wanted to go downstairs Vy had to inform him that "Christmas Eve is not even a holiday Brogan!" He said he just didn't want to miss it! The kids and Clint went exploring down by the river to give me some time to get some presents wrapped. They came home really excited about the bones, little clam shells and even the deer they saw. I love that Clint takes time to do those small little things with them, it goes such a long way in their minds and hearts. We had my parents over for the evening. My mom and I both made several appetizers and we played games all evening. We got a couple new games that were a ton of fun, and we had some pretty good laughs. (Ella definitely needs to leave a pair of reading glasses here... hence most of our laughing!) The kids made their annual concoction of sprinkles and oatmeal to feed the reindeer. It always works because Santa always seems to find our house. They got to open their annual Christmas Jammies and we watched Joy to the World and talked about the true meaning of Christmas and our love for our Savior Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful day.
