Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve my Mom has a party, lots of yummy finger food to snack on, my Dad reads from the scriptures about the prophesying of the Savior's birth, we listen to Reba tell the story of "The Christmas Guest," and last but certainly not least it isn't Christmas Eve without our traditional present swap. My mom reads a story about the "Night Before Christmas" with a a bunch of "lefts" or "rights" in it and you pass the presents along. Gavin was not thrilled with this. He wanted to keep his present and open it, not pass it to someone else! Needless to say there was a meltdown.

Brooklyn loves this game and had a good time.The meltdown...
