Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve Eve night, Trent's sister's family also stayed at his parents, so we watched a movie at night and then all woke up and spent Christmas Eve together as well. 

We had a light breakfast and then more family came over for a Christmas party. We had soup and sandwiches and lots of other good food for lunch and then everyone hung out and caught up for a while. 

 

Jenna also decided to run around with a box on her head.

It was then time for the younger girls to open their presents. 

  

Then the adults did our $2.00 gift exchange which is always a fun time. Everyone opens a gift and then we pass around two sets of dice that get rolled for a set amount of time. When it's your turn to roll, if you roll doubles, you get to steal someone else's present and give them yours. It's fun to try to pass the dice as fast as you can so you can get them back and try for doubles again. Finding a $2 present isn't always easy, but it's fun to see what people bring. There are scratch lottery tickets, oven mitts, candy, and this year there was even a mystery can which turned out to be chocolate pudding. It's definitely an exciting event!

After some people left to go home, we took off to go to church. I was very happy that Trent and I got to go to church with all of his family and his Grandma. I love church at Christmastime and especially at Christmas Eve!

After church, we all came back and had delicious lasagna that Jan made and took some family pictures. I'm very happy that we got some great pictures of everyone together! They are just phone pictures, but they sure are good ones to remember our time together at Christmas.
