Christmas Eve

We spent the evening at our friends the Kenney's home along with 1/2 the ward. They invited everyone over for a potluck dinner and the kids acted out the nativity. It felt like we were with family on Christmas eve like we've been so many other years. We feel so blessed to have so many great people in our life here! Here's a few photos from the program.

We left the Kenney's around 7pm and headed home for the kids to exchange their gifts. They draw names each year and keep it a secret who they have. Normally it's dollar store shopping but since there's not a dollar store here (can you believe it) they shopped at Ross and got some good things. Everyone loved their gift.
We then got things set out for Santa Claus to come. Some goodies and eggnog and carrots for the reindeer. the kids all headed for bed in our room and surprisingly fell asleep rather quickly.

Fun times. Ben gave Abby the same Baby Alive doll that Olivia has. Abby just thinks it is another baby, but my other girls are dying to mix up some of the cool orange drink and make her pee.
