Christmas!

I had so much fun at my Grandchildren's Christmas Party! We played lots of games, went sleigh riding (down the stairs with sleeping bags) decorated cookies, ran around the house to Christmas music, ate a fancy dinner of jello, chicken nuggets, pizza, corn and dessert. Then the grandkids went to sleep by the tree while I read Christmas stories. They were all so good and fun to be with! I want to do it next year. Once grandpa came over from Darins and was quickly told that this party was for the grandkids and GRANDMA only! We had lots of funWe had a wonderful time having Christmas with Darin and Tayna and their family! We had fun Christmas eve having a wonderful dinner, making the Night Before Christmas movie with the new addition of the Elf-B.I.! Christopher was Santa and was so fat he could hardly move! It was so funny. Then we acted out the nativity. Gary, Jonathan and I slept in Brandons room while all the kids were in Christopher and kyle's room. They like to eat breakfast before opening gifts! We thought that was highly unusual, but really is a good idea, then you're not starving all morning while opening gifts!
We're all standing up-we're stairsJonathan had to get at least one fun toy- a Stars War Figure! He mostly got missionary things and tools. His other fun thing was wheel for the long board he made.opening the gifts!Even Heidi took turns in her beautiful new nightgown!
Darin and Tayna made us Elbe skewers for lunch! Yummy! They were so good to us!
