Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with the Ham Fam. We all love this day! Dinner was delicious as usual.

After dinner, we headed downstairs for the nativity. With the family getting so much older, we decided not to act it out this year. We watched the movie instead.

Grandma shared some great thoughts about the Savior and played a couple of her favorite songs.

My aunt Sandi had this ornament made for my parents. She and Shelley have been so sweet to have an ornament made for Jen, Chris, and Jason. Very thoughtful.
Next up was Christmas Bingo. The kids play in the kitchen with Grandma and the adults play in the dining room with Grandpa. Paul had a rough time this year, and ended up taking way longer than the rest of us to get a bingo. It's all in the luck of the card. :)

It was so fun to have EJ and Ofa home for Christmas!
We all love the gift cards and books we get in the Grab Box! There was a moment where we all thought that Paul was forgotten or left out of the grab box, but then Mel started laughing and pulled his gift out from behind her back. She said that if you take that long to get a Bingo, you forfeit your Grab Box present. Haha! :)
We had our traditional treats and then our family headed out to pick Chad up from the airport. It was a great Christmas Eve!!
Ataiya was supposed to be taking a picture of all the adults and took a few selfies on Al's phone instead. :) I had to include at least one. She's such a gorgeous girl!

  1. I love this post! The pictures are great and I'm glad that you included the selfie of Ataiya cause she is gorgeous! Hallee and Tessa are too and that's a great picture of them and of Rockwell and Wyatt! I think I missed out on Melanie hiding Paul's grab box gift so that was funny to read about!

  2. Mel, Ha! that was so funny. It's always the quiet ones you have to look out for.
