Christmas came and went like a whirlwind this year! What happened? I'm not sure, but it was a lot of fun! James and I feel so blessed to have so much family located in one central place. It does call for a lot of party hopping, but Christmas is the perfect time of year to be party animals, right? We started off Christmas Eve at my aunt and uncles house; we did a "Lessons and Carols" session with some scripture and carols sung. My little cousin Aleah decided her role would be the angel, and she took this position very seriously. In her mind, angels prance through the living room during "hark the herald angel's sing" with a special star wand, and a very solemn expression on their face. She might be right...who can say?
Christmas morning we were off to the Rienstra's household for a fabulous day of gifts and merriment. Check out this monster mystery box...any guesses?
And I'm so thankful to the Lord for my hottie sisters....who ever imagines they'll marry into a household of snuggie models? :0)
And the infamous Christmas present game was as crazy as always...people even steal gifts from poor grandma!
We spent the next day with James' extended family, but sadly no photos of this event. All in all, we had a wonderful time with family - LOVE coming home to visit them. Now if we could only get them over to our side of the country... (wink wink!)
