Christmas Eve

This Christmas we were really excited to have not only Annie at our house; but my Mom, Dad and Grandma also came to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with us! 
My Grandma brought us some delicious popcorn to snack on.

My mom, the girls, and Chris took some pictures and blankets to the nursing home and sang a song to the residents. They had a good time doing it! The rest of us stayed home getting dinner ready.

We always sing "Christmas is Apon Us" when we are with the Bishop Family.
Molly wished she could be Santa Claus, but had to settle on a reindeer.
 The dolls
 The elves
 The tree, snowman and Santa
 And all of us.


We pulled our crackers before dinner and enjoyed our traditional rice tafel.

After dinner we played some Christmas songs on the bells
 and opened our pajamas and went to bed!

This year I made night shirt pajamas instead of pajama pants (except of Molly because the pattern didn't go small enough, although I did make her pants and shirt as well). It was alot of work, and took most of my free time in December. But they turned out great, and were comfortable! The girls (and Annie!) had a night shirt with leggings, and Chris had a shirt and pant set.
