A Joyous Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve was enjoyed by all with a festive celebration at Poppie and Grandma Barbie's house.  The presents were stacked neatly in the corner of the family room and the tables were decorated to perfection (like every year) by Grandma Barbie.  Dinner was ham, potatoes with sides, presents were exchanged, and then peppermint ice cream was enjoyed by all.  

The favorite gifts of the night were PJs for everyone (including adults) from Grandma Barbie!  We all LOVED them!  The parents were even more excited than the kids about their new sleepwear.  

After the party, we hurried home with our Aunt Cindy, Carson, and Jerry.  We took pictures by our Christmas tree and listened to me play my favorite Christmas carols on the piano as we watched the snow fall out of the window.  It was just incredible.  What a wonderful night to ponder the gifts of Christmas, in particular, the gift of our Savior and what his life means to the world.
