Christmas Eve

You're probably wondering why I didn't give many details about our Christmas, on my Christmas post. Well, just in case someone I didn't want to view my blog found their way to my blog, I didn't want it out on the internet, that we were out of town. Now we are safely home and I thought it would be fun to let you know what we did while we were in Utah.

We spent Christmas Eve with my family at my aunt and uncle's home. It's been a tradition for years, that my family spends Christmas Eve with our cousins, the Ruedas'. Anyway, all of my cousins, and my siblings were all together this year for Christmas. It's been two years since I've seen my cousin Bryant and his cute family. They have a one year old son, Andrew, who I hadn't seen until this year. It was so much fun to get together with our cousins again. Now that many of us are married, we've tried to coordinate, so that all of us are gone with our in-laws for Christmas on the same year, so it's been two years since we've all been together for Christmas. Anyway, Tio Israel made a wonderful meal. Any of you who know Tio, know that he is an amazing cook, and boy did the meal that night prove it. We had prime rib, which I don't usually like, potatoes, salad and rolls. The tables were set so elegantly. The kids acted out the nativity story with the help of some of the adult men. The women got to watch this year. We had the cutest angel, Mary, littlest shepher and littlest wiseman. The men were good sports to be a part of the nativity, all except Scott, who didn't want to be the donkey, but who could blame him. He was a too stuffed from dinner. We sure enjoyed being with family. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas Eve. Thanks Sherri and Israel for the fun evening. We loved being with your family for the evening.
