Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we spent the morning hanging out and enjoying the day with Ben. During the month of December his only day off was on Saturday. We went to an early Christmas Eve dinner at the Merkley's house at 1pm. The weather was beautiful. The kids played outside, we had soup and salad, did a musical program where Ben and I played a duet on the piano, read the story of the first Christmas in the scriptures, read "Twas the Night Before Christmas", exchanged presents, and opened jammies.
