Christmas Eve

This is the treat we left for Santa this year. He thought he would be tired of cookies, so we left him pumpkin pie, and cream soda. We also left some oranges for the reindeer. He wrote a little note back, thanking us for the pie, and he also said that Blitzen liked the oranges! Our cute kids in their new pajamas. They love getting everything ready for Santa.

We were lucky to have the Sister Missionaries, serving in our ward, over for Christmas Eve. Sister Hansen, and Sister Carter were so fun! It made our evening so special to have them share it with us. We had great food, conversation, and played some great games. We had a Christ centered lesson about shepherds and make some candy cane bark. Since we were unable to be with family for Christmas, it make it extra special to share it with someone in our home.

Sister Hansen playing Zingo with us. Who knew that missionaries could be so competitive?!

We're glad you hosted the missionaries. It would be a lonely evening for the missionaries if no one hosted them, although we would have loved having spent Christmas with all of you.

Kids really do make all the difference at Christmas time. I love to see their excitement. Awesome that you shared to holiday with the missionaries! I'm sure they loved it.
