Christmas in Review Part 1

The Christmas celebrations began for us a few weeks before the actual Christmas Day. The Hall's had a Christmas party and we all had a good time being together. I love when I get to see my family because we all don't get together too often. The party began with a wonderful meal of pizza. We ate and talked amoung ourselves. You have to catch each other up on the happenings in everyone's lives, ya know.

Rachel created beautiful nativity that th grandchildren recreated. Each grandchild took part in the nativity, although we had two (and our only two) shepards run away. We didn't have any one to be the wiseman, so my older brother had to step in. Nontheless, it was wonderful and reminded us of what the Christmas holiday is truely about.

We also had a talent show. Mom told every family to prepare a talent to share. Each family had little children show off their cute dancing, gymnastic, piano playing, and singing talents. Jason and I....well....we had to come up with something of our own, which was less cute to watch. We sang We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Thankfully, the other joined in to help us.We opened presents from each other. Thanks Jenn and Brandon for the movie and treats. Perfect! Watching the children open their presents was so fun. Each got so excited about what they recieved from Grandma Cille and Grandpa. After we ate ice cream and enjoyed each others company. It was a great way to start off the holiday season.
