Christmas Celebrations

We had a wonderful Christmas celebration with Gregory's family.  We ate wonderful food, laughed, read Scripture, opened gifts and played together.  On our menu this year was appetizers for dinner.  We had tons of cookies - Oatmeal peanut butter, walnut jelly filled, chocolate sundae, cherry cordial, sugar and Oreo cream.  Yes, sister in law and I went crazy baking the cookies. :)

For the main meal we had ham sandwiches, bacon wrapped sausages, potato skins, pepper jelly cream cheese, pizza dip, chicken dip, apples and cream cheese dip, grapes and variety of pickles/olives. 

 Gregory helping to wrap the gifts.  One of his favorite events of the season.

 Elizabeth crawled right up in Aunt Jessica's lap to snuggle.  She loves her Aunt Jessica!

 Matthew opening his first Christmas gift.  He couldn't believe we were letting him tear that paper.

 He found the paper very tasty.

 Once the paper was taken away he really did love his gear caterpillar.

James helped Grant put his Lego's together.

Matthew enjoys playing with Peepaw.

 Hadley allowed Elizabeth to help her decorate her jewelry box.

 Everyone enjoyed playing James' hangman game.

It was a lovely evening!  We feel very blessed to have been able to spend this time with each one.  We love you all!
