Christmas Eve

It has been tradition for us to host a Christmas Eve get-together before we go to the candlelight service at our church. This Christmas Eve we all happy that none of us were sick. Last year, Nathan, Nolan, Ray, and Tammy came down with a stomach virus on Christmas Eve and it lasted through Christmas day. To top it off, Nolan and my dad were sick with Fifth Disease. A week or so later my Mom, Weston, Tammy, and I ended up with Fifth Disease. We all had rashes and felt as though we had arthritis for a month. It was almost comical the way we were all so sick. Needless to day, we were all happy to be in good heath this year! Here are some photos of our Christmas Eve. This year we just made appetizers- buffalo wings, cheese dip, bean dip, vegetables, and spiced apple cider.

Nathan made Weston a sandbox in our backyard last weekend. He has so many tractors and dump trucks that there isn't any room for him in the sandbox.
