Christmas Eve

Christmas gets real on December 23rd for Mom's Christmas Adam dinner.  Great company, amazing food, talents, this night has it all. Most of it is on video, but we did get a couple of pictures. The video best represents the night showing everyones talents and the amazing food. The Gren's came up to spend Christmas in Salt Lake.  It's great to see them and her boys sure add a lot of excitement to the holiday. 

The Jake Bryant family added two to the party this year.  Baby Oaklyn was born this year and Jocelyn brought her boyfriend Jordan.  

For our talents this year, Jill stole the show with a dancing piano routine. She laid out the piano mat, and danced on the keys to play a Christmas song.  Logan and Taylor lip-synched to a Christmas wrap song. Landon, Alyssa, and I all played the piano. 

Christmas Eve day we met up at JCW's this year for lunch.  Usually it's Astro Burger, but it was closed on Christmas Eve for some reason.  JCW's was great and the children enjoyed hanging out with cousins and the adults had a nice visit too. 

Later for Christmas Eve dinner we gathered at the Bunkall's for another amazing meal with fancy dishes and decorations.  

Judy teaches the children the piano, so they play some Christmas songs they have been learning. 

Each year Grandpa Bunkall reads from Luke 2 and the children act out the nativity, this year was no different. 

Grandma has a present for them to open and they always get pajama's to wear.  

Tomorrow is the big day.  The children are all getting to be teenagers now, so you would think they wouldn't be quite as excited, but each year it surprises us with how excited they are.  We got to bed around 11:00 p.m. or at least that is when we put them to sleep.  I'm sure they will all be awake until early the next day.
