Christmas Eve Dinner and Family Home Evening

It is a Weber family tradition to have our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve. That way, we can have dinner by candle light and after we eat, enjoy a nice family home evening reading, singing, or acting out the nativity. This year, Sharon, my sister, hosted the dinner.
 We were able to have all the siblings from here make it, which is hard sometimes because both Nancy and I have our in-laws close, so we split our time with them. It was great to be all together. My Mom and Dad came, along with Sharon's husband's parents,Dick and Terry, and Nancy and Trevor, and Jared and me.
Our Family Christmas Eve of December 2011
 After watching a movie on the Nativity, we let the kid open presents from Grandma and Grandpa Weber.
 They each received a really soft pillow pet and blanket. Kenzie got a cow, Lexie got a giraffe, Eli got a dog, and Jordyn got a sheep. The kids loved the pillow pets and now proclaim to me every night that they can't sleep with out them.

I like the pillow pets! What a soft, cuddly buddy! Your family is so wonderful. I´m glad you could spend Christmas with your folks, and you didn´t have to travel to do it.
