Christmas Eve was a really fun day for us! We got back from the Cabin in the early afternoon. We got cleaned up and showered (finally!) , and everyone took a little rest for a couple of hours. When i say everyone, that excludes Keri, who worked her tail off all day to make our Christmas Eve dinner so special. She really is amazing. The dinner was incredible, and she started a fun little tradition this year where we each had a candle on our plate, and we each went around the table and said something we love about the person sitting to our right. Once we said something, we were able to light our candle...and have more light. It was a really neat moment for all of us. Marty also gave a great Christmas thought, and the spirit and tone for the rest of the night was incredible. What an amazing family we have!
After dinner, Korver and Pryson got in their new Christmas pajama's, and got the cookies out on the plate to leave for Santa. They were so cute, and so excited for Santa to come.
In the meantime, Jeff and Brad played a LONG game of chess, which almost ruined Christmas. Holli and I were so mad at them, and wanted them to stop so we could all start playing a game or something. But they kept playing chess FOREVER. Luckily, it didn't ruin Christmas and the game finally ended!
After the little boys went to bed, it was game time for the rest of us. Kenny and Heather introduced us to reverse charades, which is one of our new favorite games. It was so fun to play especially with this family. Everyone is so competitive, and stubborn. We got a good laugh watching eachother! I have to admit, Marty man was my favorite. He just makes all games so entertaining.
