Christmas eve started out with Grandma making chocolate pies and Gray and Carter licking the bowl clean........
Sadly, there is no one in the picture, but here is the table set and ready to eat our yummy meal. There were 14 adults, 4 missionaries, and 5 little ones......having so many people reminded me of Christmas with my family, the Gundersens!
Summer and Reece......
you will notice with the next two pictures that Summer and I need to communicte better what we are wearing.....we thought it was pretty funny that we wore almost the same outfit!

After dinner Grandpa Jay and Grandma Barbra read "The Grinch who stole Christmas". It was truly one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
Afterwards all the siblings and spouses read the Nativity and sang Hymns. The kids ran wild during the whole thing. It was so much fun!
Then the kiddos opened the pajamas Grandma and Grandpa got them....how cute are they?! She also made them the cutest fleece blankets.
The girls all got a new robe and slippers....very comfortable! The guys got pajama pants and slippers but weren't as willing to have their picture taken in them.
Christmas day was very eventful. We were truly spoiled by Santa and Ben's parents! We all got everything we asked for and more. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Suzanne and Paul! We love you guys so much!
We took a little break from opening presents to have our traditional bran muffins, bacon and orange juice for breakfast.....it was all so yummy!
Josh and Ben.......aren't they so cute?
Grayson was so excited when he opened his bulldozer.....he sure does love tractors!
Cal with one of his new presents....
Thanks again to Ben's family! Even though I really missed being with my family, Ben's family always makes it just as special. We love all of you!

I love the picture of all the grandkids in their pjs- I am so impressed that they are all looking at the camera for the most part. When I first looked at the picture I thought Cal was Carter- he is just getting so big. I am glad you had a fun Christmas. I hope you had enough room in the van to bring home all those fun gifts!
Thank you so much for spending your holiday with us. It just makes it all so special to have you all here. I'm glad the Allred/Gundersons will share! Loves to you all!
