Ryan and Michel invited the missionaries and another friend over for Christmas Eve dinner. We made Chicken a la King, a tradition my family has had for generations. (I posted the recipe and the special meaning behind the dish on my cooking blog, The Sisters' Cafe.) We then had a little Christmas Eve program. Jed and I gave Michel and Ryan an early Christmas present - I made them a set of Christmas carol booklets, which we used during our program. (I just LOVE singing Christmas carols!)
Before the kids went to bed, Michel gave them each a pair of Christmas pajamas! Benjamin's had snowmen on the front and it said, "chillin' with my homies," which was pretty cute. She also spoiled me with a comfy outfit to wear, too. (I'm liable to w

it all day while I'm at home with the kids - it's so soft and comfortable!)
After the little ones were snug in their beds, we all played Charades! It was a total BLAST! Girls against boys - Bart, Ryan, and Jed didn't have a chance against Emily, Michel and me. :) Actually, I can't remember who won, but it was super fun. As you can see, Ryan was a pro. :)
Christmas morning. Benjamin got a laptop computer from Ryan and Michel. He loves it. It makes him feel very important. Every time he tells me, "I have to go work on my computer" it takes me by surprise. :)
Jed's modeling for us. :) Yeah, baby! woo-woo!Grandpa reading their new books to them.
