We celebrated Christmas Eve in Connecticut! We had the Reeds over. It was so fun because everyone was there!
We had some delicious food too. Enchiladas and Cafe Rio Pork Burritos, etc. YUM!
Here are the girls: Mindi, Mom (Connie), Katie, Kim, and Corinne!
We always open one gift on Christmas Eve. We usually open Grandma and Grandpa Marshall's gifts. This year we got the book the Five Thousand Year Leap which Grandpa expects us to have read by Bear Lake so we can discuss it. They also brought back jewelery from Egypt for the girls and consecrated oil back from Israel for the boys. The oil was actually grown in Israel by Macmud the Arab and consecrated by Grandpa Marshall in the Garden of Gethsemane on Oct. 29, 2010. It is definitely a special present!
That night we also went to a retirement home and went caroling through the halls with the Reeds. Then we came back to our house for a great game of White Elephant or whatever it was called.. it was the same as White Elephant.
