Christmas Eve 2008

So, we are off to the party. Chad is sporting his lovely Christmas sweater that Kevin sent to him from the Mission. Doesn't he look sweeeet!!
After we had a wonderful dinner we acted out the Christmas story. Mark read, Andrea lead us in songs and the kids, some of them big, acted.

After we got home Sherry and Chad thought it would be fun to take the annual photos. Since Kev was not here to wear the red long johns, Sherry took his place.
So this is almost the one with you, Kev. Compare to Elder Lawson's photos!!
Sherry and Chad are trying to imitate the photos from Christmas past with Kev usually in the red long johns. He is away and so we had to improvise. I hope you like it Kev!

They are trying the robot moves.
After all the photos, Sherry spent the night. She stayed in Kevin's room and awaited Christmas morning. We got up around 10. Had a nice breakfast, opened our gifts and then all the family came over. Later we got the best gift. Kevin called and we got to talk to him. He sounds great and he had a wonderful day. Next event will be the new year.
