On Christmas Eve we read Luke 2, made treats & a turkey, played Secret Santa to a family we love, and the kids each got to open one gift. The three girls got robes (Kira & Chey got them from me...Katelyn got hers from her dad & his wife). The boys got T-shirts.
Christmas morning we opened presents at home...
Then we went over to Grandma & Grandpa Needles' house for a very fun family Christmas. The cousins had a great time hanging out together, visiting and playing "Just Dance" on the Wii (Katelyn got it for Christmas...it's the most fun exercise EVER!!!).
We opened presents...
We had a fun talent show...any of the cousins that wanted to could perform. Kira & CheyAnn did a duet of "Away in a Manger". Colton played piano & sang "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire". Bryson played drums. Kira was also in her cousin, Megan's talent. Megan's talent was being a game show host on "So You Think You Can Random Dance". They used Kira's I-carly Remote that she got for Christmas. It was really cute.
All in all, it was a great Christmas. I am so thankful for all of the family that took time out of their busy schedules to come to Salt Lake. I am also grateful for my mother-in-law who, in spite of having hand surgery on Dec. 8, managed to host a fabulous family get-together. It was a great time!
