Christmas Eve

Danny & I worked all week to complete all our Christmas errands.  It was nice to get all our shopping and wrapping, neighbor gifts etc.. done early in the week and spend a nice realxing day on Christmas Eve. 
We ran a couple of errands and then played at home.  That evening we spent a wonderful Christmas Eve night at G & G Shields. We ate a delicious dinner, had a programand talent show, read scriptures, played games and sang carols.  Then we opened our "Pixie" gifts and went home to wait for Santa.   

We were lucky to have Great Grandma Shields spending the weekend with our family as well.  She is always full of energy and willing to play games with everyone! 
We loved spending Christmas with her! 
All the boys piled on Great Grandma Shields lap for a picture, I think they may have squished her!

Taylor and Jeffrey love playing Parcheesi, too bad Grandma always wins.
Derek knows just how to get the kids all crazy!  He wrestled with them, and they all loved it!  Lizzie was happy and is crawling around now.  She is looking older every day.

During the talent show Emily, Becca  and Mary did a dance to "Santa Baby", Taylor did "the worm", Jeffrey played the piano, and Issac and Spencer sang a song.  Then Becca sang a solo, and it was the cutest thing ever!  Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of her, she is a natural performer.

It was a fun party, as we reflected on Christ's birth and the real meaning of Christmas.
