So I managed to get the pictures out of order & can't get them to change but OH WELL! So here it goes!
We are starting with the day after Christmas! We had our annual Moss Family Christmas Party. We started out with a sort of talent show put on by each family. Lainee forgot her piano music so she wouldn't play so Rigby stepped up & played & sang his own version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" it went something like this: I wish you a merry Christmas, mumble mumble, good tidings, mumble mumble! It was very sweet!
We then had our homemade gift exchange. Trent & I made beaded serving utensils for Jana & Mom, Lainee & Olivia made gumball machines for Brayden & Elia, & Rigby made a dating kit for Davey, which was hilarious! Trent got a framed part of Grandma Cox's journal that was about him from Shawn, I got a family picture holder/frame from Chanieca, Lainee is getting (Teri was very sick so her family couldn't make it) a pink snuggie from Mikelle, Olivia got flower barrettes from Davey, & Rigby got a car game from Kenzie. Fabulous gifts! Another great year of ideas!

Christmas day - apparently we took more video than pictures! Rigby got his bike! Olivia got her unicorn & Barbie doll. And Lainee got her DS. All the things that they asked for! They all also got DVD players. Mom got a KitchenAid & a picture of the temple. Dad got some shoes & a guitar. We had snowman cinnamon rolls for breakfast - note to self, kids do NOT like cinnamon rolls!



Christmas Eve aka Grandpa Moss's birthday! We had a lovely dinner & then presents with the little ones doing heavy heavy hangover on Grandpa! Followed up with the nativity scene reenactment. We were then visited by an elf with their Christmas jammies!

December 23rd was the Wilson Family party at the Howard's house. Yummy soups & cute little penguins were on the menu, followed by some music by Tia & Kaysha, & Sherm & Kaysha, and of course the Nativity in their stable! Accompanied by a real live sheep! Then it was present time! Rigby was home sick with Trent so he opened his gift when we got home which was a scooter from Jake, Olivia got headbands from Traton, Lainee got Pet Shop toys from Kaysha, & Trent & I got Apples To Apples game from Julie & Seth.
Rick was even in town for Christmas break from the Army & read his own little version of The Night Before Christmas. It was cute & we loved seeing him again.
Another fun, fun, Christmas! Of course the best part is spending it with family!
