Christmas 2014

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents, Williams Family, Emily and the Vance Family.  The Vance's were so gracious to host this special occasion.  We had a yummy feast.  Cousins laughed, played games and tackled each other. It was so much fun.  I enjoyed being with my sisters and chatting every second I could with them.  Sydney and Julia gathered the younger kids together to prepare them for the Christmas program of acting out the nativity story.  They did a marvelous job! Daisy was an angel, Clark was a shepherd and Kaeley was a lamb. It was fitting that Meredith be Mary since she was pregnant. (haha).  Brett, Gary and Grandpa were the wise men.  I love this beautiful season where we can celebrate and reflect on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and His life.  I love this video of the birth of Jesus Christ.  Merry Christmas!
