Christmas Eve

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Santa's red sleigh came a little early with a new motorcycle for Wes! Colton borrowed Clint's awesome Luke Skywalker costume for his work's private showing of Rogue One. On Christmas Eve day, Livi took a nap in the early afternoon while the rest of us ate lunch and hung out. Then it was time for cookies!

Dinner was roast pork, potatoes, salad, corn, rolls, slush and poison apples! Livi loved the poison apples, she said they were "dripping."

Our talents this year were diverse and fun.  Livi and Karlee sang a duet of "Jingle Bells." Karlee sang most of the song, and Livi sang some of the echoes and a few of the words.  It was darling!

Colton solved a very complex calculus problem from one of his Econ classes.  We were all impressed, and it was way over my head!

I recited the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" only for our purposes, it was "The Owl and the Lalacat."  Wes played the ukulele and sang Silver Bells.

We also showed a video of Clint playing the guitar and some photos Kori had taken for their Christmas Eve Talents.  Our new Christmas book was a board book for Livi, Sing To Baby Jesus.  After yummy dessert, Karlton took Livi home to have a tubby and get ready for bed and Wes and I marveled at how strange it was to be in the house alone on Christmas Eve!
