Got up at 4:30 and made the dressing and put the turkey in the oven. Started the ham cooking in the crockpot. Went back to bed for a half hour, but couldn't sleep so got up. Did the last minute stuff, then got ready. All the kids and families came plus Charlie and Sue. Kenzie and Travis couldn't come, but will be here tomorrow for left overs.
We all worked together getting things done and sat on the table, then prayed and ate. Kimmy and Vikki made me sit and visit with people while they cleaned everything up and put the food away. They are amazing and I am thankful they have lunch lady experience because they are fast and efficient. So kind of them to always do that for me. I sure appreciate it.
We had fun hanging out, playing the Phone game, some played Eucre, an some played Speed. There were ping pong tournaments in the basement and air hockey. Some of the kids played outside for a while. It was a fun family day and we all have much to thank God for.
In the evening, Kimmy, Jared, Vikki, Rody, Isaac, Bill, me and Hailey went to Jacob's Eddy Band Christmas Concert. It was so good and the band sounded amazing. They played wonderful Christmas music. The kids choir from Sasa sang some songs with the band and some by themselves. They did a great job. Peyton's choir teacher from last year was their director. We saw Wes and Gayla in the same row, only two aisle over, so we went to talk to them during intermission. When I tried to go from my seat past all of our family, Jared tried to be funny and blocked me and pushed me so I ended up on Kimmy's lap, finally after a little struggle, I made it by him. He tried the same thing on the way back past him, but I did better at getting by. He is so funny and always fun. We were all laughing hard at him.
When we got back to our house, we hung out a little while longer. When everyone left we were sitting in the living room and Jacob asked if we wanted to play 3-13. It was 11:30, but we both said yes. Making memories is the best. We all had fun. I lost big time. Bill won b 3 points. Jacob had many more points, but he caught up and almost won the game.
