Christmas Eve 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve with Mom and lots of family. Wayne and Gwen were in charge and they did a fabulous job. We started with great appetizers and mingling. There was the traditional program with a presentation from each family. Once again Grant & Sandra were the most creative with their family sporting Utah and BYU clothing and singing about the Max Hall incident to Christmas carols. Chase did a great job representing us with a piano rendition of Carol of the Bells. We then played the white elephant game. I was happy that we did not come home with the things we brought. I specifically showed the wrapped gifts to the boys and suggested they pick something else. Chase ending up with a world globe without a stand and Rex received some wonderful index cards. I am pleased to say that our wiggles car donation to the game was one of the hot items of the night. The grandchildren then opened their presents from Grandma. Chase was pleased with his Indiana Jones Lego set and Rex was happy with his mag formers. He built the Liahona for everybody to see. It was a great night. A few shots from the event. Chase practicing his piano piece for the program. Our camera didn't work during the actual performance.
