This past weekend most of my family came together to have a Christmas party. We had lots of people, food, games and fun. Grandma read a book about the symbols of Christmas, and then they made things to go with each of them. They made bell ornaments, stars, fun candy cane holders, reindeer food, wreath cookies, holly for a tree, sucker Santa and Reindeers, stockings to fill with candy and each family made a gingerbread house. Some of the things they made went onto a tree that most of the grandkids took over to a sister in Grandma and Grandpa's ward who is terminally ill and loved getting some Christmas cheer. The kids ate lots of food and sugar, made a lot of crafts and of course had a ball with their cousins. It was good to finally get together as a family(well mostly, Mississippi is a long ways to travel for one day).
Brad painted a corn hole game which was a hit. When you won you got a prize. Emery got some facemasks. Emery's was a child's size, so good thing I had one of my own and we did masks together. The boys just looked at us like we're crazy, but we are the ones with soft glowing faces now.
