Christmas Eve always starts out with a yummy dinner then the annual sled races. We all make a candy bar sled then we race them. There's a bracket and everything, it's very official and fair.
Sled construction
Our sled...every year David gets his hopes up to win. This year we BARELY lost! So close, sorry honey
We always have a program where we (or our children) can perform, we share stories, etc. Natalie shared her favorite Christmas board book and Cyrena sang 2 primary songs
Grandma with 11 of her 19 grandchildren. Natalie was feeling feverish so we ditched her sweater
Christmas pajamas....look at her sickly eyes...not good
Eagerly and impatiently waiting to come downstairs Christmas morning
Natalie got a baby and stroller which she loves
All Cyrena wanted was a calculator and a telescope. Santa pulled through.
Puppets from Grandma and Grandpa Dean
This was Natalie most of the morning....she'd unwrap then just lay in the paper with her thumb and blanket. She did NOT feel well.
Playsilks from Grandma and Grandpa Lemmert
Her favorite present....a scripture tote!
Natalie got some new books
Grandma Taylor made the girls quilts with this adorable frog material. They're very snuggly and warm

I love to read the xmas posts...even if it's January 15th! At least you're posting them, right?! Looks like you had a wonderful Christmas. i love the sled racing idea!
Debbie looks like she's lost tons of weight. I haven't seen her for a couple years, but she looks great in that photo. Speaking of, I always put the photos from Christmas cards into a picture book. I looked at the one of you last year and compared it to this year's. Jenna, what a change! I hope you're still going strong. I know what work it is since eating is so fun. I'm very impressed!
