christmas!

christmas 2008

we celebrated christmas with my family on christmas eve as is our tradition (and since a few of us had to work on christmas night). we started out with a barbecue dinner, then went to the candlelight service at church. we headed home for family pictures at the christmas tree and then got a surprise visit from santa claus himself! after that, we opened gifts in our usual order, youngest to oldest. the little ones went to bed and the adults stayed up to finish opening gifts from each other before we had a chinese gift exchange that ended up having very little stealing and swapping. it was a very merry christmas, and i hope yours was too!

merry christmas from the kings!!!
