Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is usually spent at my parents home, with yummy food, a "little present" game that has different amounts of cash hidden inside, and our usual family history story we get from mom and dad.

This year was a bit different. Most of my siblings didn't stay overnight, so it ended earlier than usual, and we exchanged gifts with the person we had drawn the name of on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day.

This year, one of the gifts we gave Mom & Dad was a little family book that I made. It had a section in it of each of their children and their families. It had a current family picture, a typed up testimony of each adult, and the 2 older grandchildren, a hand or footprint for each grandchild along with their name and age, and then a picture collage of each grandchild.

I think they liked it. I know I did. It was so good to actually read my Husband's testimony, since he refuses to share it publicly. I never heard complaints from my sister, but my brothers weren't very excited to do their part. Too bad for them, their good wives made them do it anyway.... Thanks for your help!
