Christmas Eve, we went to the 5:00 service at church at which Jane and I sang our traditional number for the umpteenth year in a row. Following church, David and Alicia, Mike, Leah, Caleb and Leah's parents and brother came to our house for a supper of potato soup and ham sandwiches. It was so nice to open our home to Leah's parents and brother. They had traveled down to Prairie City for Christmas and I'm so glad they felt comfortable enough to join us. My parents came out after supper and John and Kari, Payton and Finley's plans were changed due to weather so they were also with us. We went from not being certain who was going to be at our house on Christmas Eve to a house full. A good time was had by all. At 11:00 Jim and I went back to church to help with that service.
Christmas morning we just hung around the house for awhile and at about 11:00 we went to Mike and Leah's and joined them and her family for dinner. It was nice of them to include us. We watched them open their gifts and the rest of the afternoon was spent in several games of "spoons". It got vicious enough we actually broke the table. Again a good time was had by those playing. And I think the table is repairable.
