Christmas Eve

So I don't have any pictures showing what we did Christmas Eve so you will just have to read about it. So Christmas Eve is usually the day that we have a party with my family. This year was especially nice because its the first Christmas that we have had with the entire family home now that Allen is home from his mission. So we all got together at my mom's house and had our little party. We first read the Christmas story and sang Christmas songs since dinner was not quite ready yet. My daddy read the Christmas story while my mom had all the grandkids put together the manager scene as it was read. We then sang, which is no way unusual with my family. We sang at everything. Anyways, we always sing my favorite Christmas song. Its probably safe to say that its almost my entire families favorite Christmas song. Its called Star of Bethlehem. If you have not heard it you really should. Its a beautiful song. We have been singing it for years it seems like ever since the Christmas program for our ward where we first sang it. But its such an amazing song with such a wonderful message. So really, find it and listen to it. You won't be sorry. Anyways, after that we had dinner. We had breakfast casserole. We usually have that for Christmas breakfast but where we all had church we opted to skip Christmas breakfast and just have it for dinner the night before. It was delicious as always. We then did the gift exchange which is always fun. After the party we came home and we did our own little thing with Jayanne. We read her "Twas The Night Before Christmas" and the Christmas story again. It was a great night.
