In the afternoon we headed to Karen and Orrie’s. Karen had the tables all set and decorated so pretty. She had her homemade noodles on the stove along with all kinds of food and pies. We all waited for the Anderliks who are always late, an hour late. This year Karen told the kids no Tv, much to my approval. Jayden planned a Christmas play at home and brought costumes and props. After we all stuffed our tummy’s with all the holiday yummy’s, the kids put on a short play. It was very cute as everyone participated. The big girls were narrators and the younger kids acted out. Jacob was Joseph, Jaynie was Mary, Maggie a Wise man, Jayden an angel, and Rylie a shepherd. I thought it was nice to see the kids all plan together a Christmas play. Years ago the kids used to have one every year. The last 3 years the kids have all gone downstairs and watched a movie instead. Present time was a big pile of wrapping paper and bows filling the living room as the kids open gifts from youngest to oldest. Luke had the present thing down as this was his third time at it. After gifts, Allie went to sleep on the floor for the night. Everyone else played games and ate more goodies.
