Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve in the day we invited our office staff over to have a BBQ with us.  Hotdogs, hamburgers and the works along with pumpkin cake and ice cream.  They just kept eating. 

As a result, some of them ended up on the floor for a few minutes to let it all settle.

Mom it getting to know the office elders well.  And they are so kind to her.

Then we took them into our family room to watch "17 Miracles".  Again, there were a few tears from of couple of the elders during the movie.  They seem tough but have very tender hearts and realize their blessings in the gospel.

They also wanted to see last year's and this year's musical number from Elder Peterson and Elder Okelberry.

Wonderful.

And just a little crazy.

At night we invited the Udall's and the Fuhriman's to Christmas Eve dinner.  The Fuhriman's are a new temple missionary couple that just arrived for a 2 years mission.  We also watched the Tabernacle Choir concert from last year with David Archuleta.
