This year P's parents are on a mission and grandma L went to Louisiana with aunt E and L. So it's just the 7 of us (just the 7!) for Christmas. For years we've done the P family traditions. This year we've done stockings for soldiers, santa boxes, and gave gifts at a nursing home. Here we are on Christmas Eve and it's just a regular night. Since it was Monday we had FHE and I chose "In the bleak mid-winter" as the song. The children are watching Pinochio because I don't do Santa.
We had a lovely church service on Sunday. We watched music and the spoken word and the 1st Presidency devotional when we got home. It's been wonderful.
Today we drove up to Sam's Club and bought something for each child that they'd wanted but we never buy.
G: Hot Pockets
M: Orange Chicken
lP: Corn Dogs
B: Chex Mix
Tomorrow we'll eat our festive food, open presents, call grandparents and go caroling with our neighbors.
It's nice.
