Christmas Eve 2011

On Christmas Eve we had a whole day of activities since it was a Saturday. Each child assembled and decorated a gingerbread house.

We also made and decorated sugar cookies (a favorite).  Some cookies were more sprinkles than cookie.

We had our traditional favorites meal.  Each family member gets to choose one favorite food item and we put it all together for a variety buffet.  This year Darren made spetzle, I chose shrimp cocktail, Jacob chose garlic bread, Alison chose Chicken and Broccoli casserole, Joshua chose Fried mushrooms, Rylie chose Papa Murphy's veggie delite pizza, Emily chose frozen grapes and we had homemade fries (since I was already making the mushrooms.  It is always a fun meal.

After dinner we read the Christmas story from the scriptures, Read Grandma Burgess' story, opened the present of new pj's and went to bed. We had a great day.
