Christmas FHE

A few nights before Christmas Andrew's mom got all of us together for a Family Home Evening (we were missing Becky and Daniel who were still enjoying themselves on their honeymoon in Hawaii!). We had a yummy dinner of sloppy Joe's and then we listened and acted out the Nativity story as Andrew's grandma read it. We then had a $1 gift exchange and there were lots of funny gifts! It was a fun night and we enjoyed having Andrew's brother Matt and his wife Patty and their 5 kids join us. Ella and Easton got to know their cousins a lot better this Christmas and I am glad since they don't have very many on either side.
Ella loves to give Easton hugs and kisses and sometimes he hates it!
Aunt Anna showed up with these cute hats for the kids which Easton left on surprisingly for quite a while!

All the younger kids got a $1 gift as well from Grandma and Grandpa, they got Goldfish! My kids would live on those if they could!

Our niece Andrea got the best gift of them all, an empty box of Chocolates that said Merry Christmas sorry I ate your present!

We were Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. We didn't do a very good job!

Andrew got drink holders as his gift, they were awesome!

We found all the cousins down in the family room later tickling Ella while she was sitting under this little table. She was laughing so hard!

I got a twelve pack of whistles. Easton loved them!
