On December 20th we had three parties to go to. In the morning we had breakfast at the ward christmas party. They had very yummy stuffed french toast, ham, and fruit. (sorry, no pictures).
That afternoon we had the Burk Family party. It’s always a blast to have the whole Burk clan all together. The grandkids love running around the house while the adults try to talk to each other. We had soup and bread bowls (one of my favorite Burk family traditions) and the grandkids opened their presents from each other. After they were done, they were all corralled down to the basement to watch a movie so the adults could finally have some quiet. We played our gift exchange game (we got a Cuisinart food processor, sweet!). From Mom and Dad we got a 2-person 72 hour emergency kit and I got a Willow Tree angel. All the girls got an angel that applied to them. We all loved them!
For dinner we were at the Chapman family party. We had Little Caesar’s Pizza (yum!) and snacks. The night before, Candice and I helped make Christmas mice for the table decorations. They looked so cute on the table. Brian took it one step further and got chocolate sprinkles to spread on the plate and table.
We sang Christmas songs, saw Santa, read The Night Before Christmas, acted out the nativity, gave Grandma her awesome picture quilt, enjoyed being with all the Chapman Clan. Spending the holidays with family the best! Who cares if it does get a little crazy?!
