Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is traditionally when we spend time with my side of the family. First we went to the half hour Christmas Eve service at church and then we came back to my parents' house to eat (too much) and open gifts. We didn't leave from my parents' until about 10:30PM. Since they were using their 5th wheel to stay while my sisters were visiting, it made a fun place for the grandkids to watch movies and hang out some.

Here are the two "married-in"s to the Reynolds' clan.My sisters and me--we're in order of oldest to youngest, in case you wondered. I'm the youngest.:)

It was a fun evening. I love it when we all get to be together!

Before we opened gifts, we recited the Christmas story
as recorded in Luke 2. Obviously my mom knows it well!
