Christmas Eve

Primary Christmas Play
We got a new Primary Presidency in September, and they are energetic (note the President is 70 years old). She decided to put on a Primary Christmas play for the ward party. She gathered the kids and practiced and practiced. It turned out to be so cute with an audience that packed the church.
Hanna was Mother Ewe. She had an awesome sheep accent.


Carly, the black sheep, but really we are just impressed that she did it.

At the end of the play, Les & Hollis arrived at the church. They came for Christmas as a surprise to everyone (except me and Austin). They had a nice journey from Wyoming to celebrate Christmas.

Christmas Eve
Since it was warm with no snow, sledding was out. First, we went to the Agridome to team rope. Then after lunch we went to Austin's school and played kickball and had soft ice cream. We had a fun dinner at Grandma's and then time for the Christmas Eve program. We had songs and stories and testimonies and an unrehearsed Nativity play.

After a fantastic program, Santa came for a surprise visit. He was the best Santa I have ever seen. He studied hard to know something unique about each person, things like that Kaela liks a boy named Benjamin Torrey, that Julia just played the guitar in our program, that Declan rides a horse named Cookie, and that Les wants to get his pilot license. He called each person to his lap and gave them a gift (hat, gloves or lip gloss).








Kaela was laughing so hard, she was crying.












THANKS SANTA!

What a fun Christmas Eve with an unrehearsed nativity and Santa too. I was noticing the food on the table, never mind Santa!

I am glad that Santa's lap was big enough for the whole bunch--even Austin! What a great time! Thanks for the great visit. We feel blessed to have you come to our house! Has our gift reached you yet?
