Our day began with a few minor chores- Mom brilliantly decided to have Saturday chore day on Friday in hopes of less grumbling and grouchiness on Christmas Eve.
After a few morning duties, we headed up to Orem to visit Bro. Enlow. When we got there, there was a young cellist playing for the residents. He was quite good.
So good that they were all asleep.
Soon, Beth couldn't help herself and followed suit.
He seemed to go on forever :)
Finally, we made our way to Franklin's room and visited and opened presents. We had fun even though he didn't remember that he used to live right next door to us.
We headed home, ready to go to Payson for Janis' traditional Christmas Eve party.
But, she had some unexpected visitors which put her behind schedule, so we had some extra time to kill.
Hmmm, what to do?
Watch Les Mis, AGAIN.
Soon it was time to hit Janis' party and it was something, I tell you.
She had a spread like no other. Jake was thrilled because FINALLY Janis let the youngest go first in the serving line. With all that food to choose from, what did he end up with?
Yeah, crackers.
We visited...
Played games...
Ate delicious food...
...and played more games.

During Eskimo Bingo, Kaylie got the "crappy " gag gift
(rubber dog poop)...
While Beth scored some cashola!
After the party we went home and had our Christmas FHE, followed by a family gift exchange.
Judie gave everyone PJ's.

Even Bella got a gift.
Long day, but well worth every minute.
Well, almost every minute.
Merry Christmas.
We Love You.
