We had a quiet but nice Christmas Eve this year....our hosts for the evening were Harry and Charlie, who dressed up in their jackets and ties to welcome our guests - Grandma & Grandpa.
For dinner, we set the table nicely, but ordered pizza, chicken and cheesy bread. This was a request from my children, and a concession to my aching back during the last few weeks of this pregnancy.
The highlight of the evening was the re-enactment of Samuel the Lamanite preaching to the Nephites. We made tin foil rocks and a saran-wrap "shield", and everyone took turns playing Samuel. We found this pageant to be a bit more interactive (especially the ACTIVE part of that) than the traditional nativity one....thanks to President Eyring for the idea!
Later, we read the "Legend of the Sand Dollar" and broke them open to find the five doves in each one....this is a Brundage Family Tradition that my children are really learning to look forward to.
The kids all sacked out together in the same room, and John stayed up to enjoy the presents being put out.

Christmas Day was a busy day that I still haven't quite recovered from....more pictures to come soon!
