Our Christmas Eve was filled with family. First we got to talk to Elder Meads for three hours. It was really nice to hear from him. I sure do miss that kid. He sounded great. The whole family was on the phone so it was nice to hear from everyone. Maren and I feel that our girl voices can't be heard above all the deep male voices in our family. It was crazy to hear David, Smitty, and Michael talk. It was hard to tell them apart. Elder Meads made a funny statement about the XBox and how his mission has made him miss it. hahahaha. He hasn't changed all that much. Then again, he has matured and you can hear it when he talks about the special parts of his mission.
Then David stopped by and dropped off our Christmas present. He got us a gift card and an awesome knife. I felt awful because I still hadn't gotten his present and didn't realize that he was coming by. I'll get on that. It was good to see him since we never do anymore.
We always get together with Grandpa on Christmas Eve day. Sometimes it is at his house but in the last few years it has been at ours. This year Jeff, Tara, and Mac came with him. It was fun and made it feel more like a Christmas celebration. The kids love it because they get to open an awesome present before Christmas.
JJ loved his watch. Emma was excited with her new clothes. Ellie couldn't be happier with her new Barbies and Elsie was so elated to have a Wedding Dress Barbie with the Groom. It is fun to have baby Mac here. Elsie just adores him, as do the rest of us.
