Family Christmas

The family has grown to the point that we had to divide things up. Our kids came over Friday evening and Susan's family on Saturday. My camera malfunctioned part way through the evening on Friday, so I didn't get pictures of everyone that night and none on Saturday. Here is what I did get:
Jared, Beth, and Stuart.

Rachel and Rebecca.

Hudson couldn't wait to try out his new sled.

Andrew, Austyn, Hudson (the climber), Sabrina, and Buddy.

Angela will probably have pictures to post and her narratives are always more interesting. Sabrina has pictures on her facebook page.

Saturday night's gathering was a lot quieter, and easier since we primarily served the leftover ham and turkey from Friday's meal. Susan's folks are doing well for their years.

Church on Sunday morning was very nice. Rebecca sang beautifully in a duet with Eliza Compton and Angela sang a solo, "O Holy Night." We only had sacrament meeting. I could get used to a one hour church session very easily.

After church, the Comptons, Beth and Stuart's family, the missionary sisters, and us caroled an elderly couple in the Ward, then Johnsons, Rayhorns, and us caroled Susan's folks. There were tasty treats. Ben and Anna thought it was lunch.

Susan and I took Buddy for a short walk at dusk, visited with Andrew's family, and then viewed some to the Christmas lights in our end of town.

Angela and Ethan have been very busy remodeling their new house. Monday, they are sanding the floors. They anticipate an all-day effort. Their move-in date is January 7th.

Merry Christmas to all.
