Sign Vikki made for us.  We always say $Bill and Penny, the family that makes cents so that people will remember our names.  This was so cute, sweet and funny to open.  Great job Vikki.  We love it!

Everyone came at 9.  We snacked and Kenzie wrapped  Travis’s gift and Kimmy wrapped Bill’s gift for me.  Then we gathered in the Living room and listened to Bill read the Christmas Story in the Bible. Love this tradition and focusing on Jesus!  After that Jared, Rody and Bruce passed out all of the gifts.  They always do a great job.  We sure are blessed with great son in laws.  We all got such nice things and I loved all the homemade things given by everyone....Kimmy and Jared's mugs, Vikki's sign and gnomes, Kenzie and Travis's ornaments, Bruce's jam, and Bill's wooden ping ball shooters....lots of talent in the family!  Travis was so cute to watch when he saw all of the homemade things opened.  
Kimmy and Jared mashed the potatoes which were delicious, Bill cut the turkey, I made the gravy and everyone helped set everything on the table.  We ate lots of good food and Charlie, Bill, Bruce and Jared played Euchre, the kids played and Sue, the girls and I visited.  It was sure a wonderful Christmas with a house full of family and lots of love.  We are very blessed! Thank you Jesus, Messiah, Emanuel, God With Us, Savior of the World, Redeemer, and so much more for coming!
