On Christmas Evening we went over to my parent's house. The menu was appetizer and finger foods. And LOTS of it. :)
There was plenty for everyone...
Then we all gathered in the living room.
Dad read scripture... that he had displayed on the tv too.
We listened and followed along and then sang a few songs.
There is no adult gift exchanging with my family but the cousins draw names.
Miles had Lily's name and she loved the bows he picked out for her.
Josiah had Miles name.
Jaedyn had Cooper.
Cooper had Ethan.
And I completely lost track of it all after Jake opened this pocket knife and you'd have thought it was a million bucks! :) He could later be heard saying, "I could just sit here and admire it.". Ha ha.
Royce enjoyed opening gifts...
But even more than that he enjoyed cleaning up after everyone!
Jonah got a fun dart gun.
So did Miles! Game on.
And G'pa Secor & New G'ma Jan had a little something for all the kiddos.
Chick-fil-a gift cards!
Thank you!
There was a little surprise for them too... Chocolates. And all their kids, grandkids and great grandkids (even all those not at this gathering) gave them a little something in the card to help them do some traveling soon.
Aunt Anna & Uncle Jared gave each of the kids a water bottle with a note attached. The note told them how instead of buying them a gift they donated $20 to the Ledia Water Project in the Congo giving a child there clean water for LIFE!
