Our family had our little celebration Christmas Eve evening, since I didn't have to go into work (I got put on call instead!!). I had made a stocking for Christian, and we stuck a couple things in it as well as got him a card. He was most excited about the red on the card..but since has read the book and played with the little toy.
After we finished, we drove to Hesston since it was quite snowy and extremely windy. It didn't look like the weather was going to improve, so thought we may as well just go so we could be there for the Sweigart Christmas celebration.

We even got to see a live nativity...featuring Joseph (maddox), Mary (ava), baby Jesus (christian), a donkey (mitchell), and a sheep (kade). There were other parts played by the remaining members of the audience such as shepherds and angels.

A visit from SANTA...
And then time for presents...
Mom of course made an incredibly large amount of food to last throughout the whole day...well, probably the whole month really. It was all very yummy!
We played a variety of games, Rock Band, puzzles, SPOONS, Catch Phrase, a family trivia game, and up and down the river to name a few. All in all, it was quite the time to celebrate and enjoy each other's company.
