Christmas Eve...

Christmas Eve this year was at Mark's house.

This was the first family gathering in his new house.

He was very excited to be the host.

We had our traditional Mexican food feast...

it was oh so yummy.

Papa played Go Fish with the kids.

 

 

We read the Christmas story from the scriptures

 

Then exchanged our gifts...

 

This year was the family picture year...

 

 

Here's my cute little family...

 

sisters...

 

the girls...

 

the boys...

 

a father and son...

an aunt with her nieces and nephew...

 

a great aunt with her greats...

 

the ones who wait for Santa...

 

and the two who started it all...

Christmas Eve was a night of family...

making memories in a new home...

thankfulness for eachother...

remembering a difficult year...

gratitude for enduring it...

and 

Celebration of the birth of our Savior.
