Despite all the snow, my family and James' family were able to make the 40 minute drive from Lynden to Bellingham to my aunt and uncle's house. I realized how blessed we are to have both our immediate families in the same area, and that we could all share Christmas Eve together. We sang some Christmas carols, read the Luke narrative of Jesus' birth, played a gift exchange game, ate lots of good food, and just enjoyed time together as a family.
Here is my uncle John about to cut into his favorite kind of cake - Red Velvet - which I made especially for this fine occasion.
My cousin Aleah and I singing some Christmas songs.
The Rienstra's singing their hearts out - Jessica, Lois, and Jennifer.
And this couch seemed to have a few troubles with their singing...there was a lot of laughing intermixed with their melodies.
