Walton Christmas–Christmas Eve

Early Christmas Eve Morning the wrapping and baking started.  We split up the cooking responsibilities between each family.  I started the turkey, Mom worked on potatoes and Amy started the rolls for our Christmas Eve Dinner.

Being with Cousins and Playing with Grandpa

All my kids love their cousins but my big girls just  L O V E  spending time with the little ones.

Christmas Eve Dinner

Oh my goodness, did we ever have great food.  Turkey, Mashed potatoes, Gravy, Creamed Corn, Rolls, Cooked Carrots, Fruit platter and yummy dip, a green salad and a fancy drink. 

Christmas Eve Program

Love this one Mike captured of Grandpa talking to James and Matt getting ready to be wise men.  We played Christmas songs on the chimes, watched a Christmas video on lds.org and then read and acted out the nativity.  Then we had a Christmas piano recital.

There’s a few pictures borrowed from my siblings here and there, including the next couple…

Late Night Christmas Eve Dominion  So fun to stay up late and play games with all my siblings after the kids were in bed and our work was done.  We played several games of Dominion and snacked on Sarah’s white chocolate popcorn.  I think we have Carly hooked on Dominion now!
