We had a nice candlelight dinner of ham, twice-baked potatoes with cheese, green onions and red peppers, AND roasted potatoes (for Bryce, whose excuse is "I'm English"), raspberry Jell-o, sparking cider and pies for dessert (which nobody ate but that's okay).
 |
| Mary did a great job! She set and decorated the table. |
 |
| She used napkin rings for the first time; she said, "I had to roll up 4 or 5 to make them fit!" We do have cloth linens but they are obviously rarely used. |
 |
| The family--aren't they cute! |
 |
| We love opening Christmas crackers--Harrison was really hoping for a whoopie cushion as his prize. He got a mirror. |
 |
| Everything seems magical by candlelight. |
We watched Mr. Krueger's Christmas.
 |
| Love, love, love that DVD. |
Bryce led our Christmas candlelight devotional.
 |
| Letting our Light shine through our Savior, Jesus Christ. |
And we all opened new Christmas pajamas from Grandma Judy and Grandpa Al! Bryce also got books for the kids: an Orson Scott Card graphic novel for Tyce, Phantom of the Opera for Mare (which she read in one night), and Shel Silverstein books for the twins.
 |
| Cameron (7), Harrison (7), Mary (almost 12), and Tyce (15). |
 |
| This is their default pose. |
|
|
 |
| Ready to head off to bed with good books. |
