Our Christmas season started with a family party with the Nefs, Jensens and Dills. It is our annual get together. We had a great dinner, fun games and a fun white elephant gift exchange. Adel Nef is an amazing host and does such a wonderful job. We had enchiladas, beans and salad. And to top it all off we had brownies and ice cream. The games were fun...we played a Christmas memory game, threw Christmas cards in a basket and the final game was creating a Santa Claus. We were given red tissue paper, cotton balls and a roll of tape. The picture was our creations.
We had our ward Christmas party on the Saturday before Christmas. It was amazing as usual. The food was great and the entertainment was excellent. The youth performed a couple of dances, the YSA did a Hmong dance and cute skit. The primary did a couple of songs and the high priest could not be left out and had their own skit. It was just a fun afternoon to spend time with our ward.
We had a blessing this year and that was to go Christmas caroling on Christmas eve with our friends. We all meet at the Smiths house and sang to their neighbors. There was the Smiths, Carlsons, Roubiceks, Stouts and Nelsons that contributed to the group. There was such a sweet spirit there and it really made me feel the spirit of Christmas. After walking and singing we had an appetite to eat. So we finished the evening with a Mexican food buffet and just enjoyed great company.
My parents and brother were able to come to our house for Christmas. It was a simple and calm day. We got up and just enjoyed each others company. The day was spent opening presents, watching movies and eating turkey. It was fun having my family here and was glad to spend a quiet day with them.
