Day 22

On day 22 of the 24 days of Christmas we celebrated Christmas with Ryan's family. We use to do this on Christmas Eve but last year we did it on a different day because Ryan's brother was in town so we decided to do it early again this year. It was wonderful. We started the night off with the kids present game and the girls were so excited for this. As you can tell they are really in to the game and concentrating on which presents to choose.
We then had a delicious dinner of homemade soup and rolls, fruit salad, green salad, and 3 delicious appetizers. After dinner the kids performed the nativity. They did such a great job this year and I was really happy with how well behaved they all were (although Alexis was not really happy to be dressed up).

Peyton was Mary this year and Hailey and Alexis were both angels.

Here are all the cute cousins.

After the nativity we played Aunt Tricia's bells while singing Christmas songs. It was so much fun and sounded great most of the time!

After the bells we ate dessert. Grandma Ferrell's yummy cheesecake and brownies with ice cream. Then we put on a movie for the kids and played the adult present game. Ryan and I came away with some great gifts and had a fun time stealing and trading gifts.

At the end of the night the kids got to do Grandpa's money grab. Now they can't wait to count their change and see how much they ended up with.

We had such a wonderful evening and are so grateful to have so many family members to spend the holidays with. Thanks to all the Ferrell family members who made the night so special. We love all of you.
