Christmas Eve/Day

Christmas Eve- We went sledding and 4-wheeling with our cousins for several hours. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Christmas Eve dinner and our program. This year Grandma decided we had enough grand kids to attempt a live nativity. It was fun. They looked so cute. It was pretty chaotic though. Ahhh, the memories. We opened our pj's and our family gift exchanges. Christmas Eve is very eventful in our house. I look forward to Christmas Eve as much as Christmas Day. Grandpa Sutter made it in before the snow storm. We were excited to have him here.
Christmas Day-Lots of family time and present unwrapping. We were all up at 5:30 A.M. We received a lot of great homeschooling presents. We have a very cool telescope with a digital camera attached and the ability to download directly to the computer, lots of science projects and science books, The Story of the World vol. 2 Cd's, Music Ace, kids Broadway vocal solo books, the world geography puzzle that's in all the homeschooling catalogs, lots of books, games and creative play things. Olivia was excited to get Adobe Photoshop Elements for her laptop. Olivia started reading Jane Eyre also. Olivia and I received a violin lesson from my sister-in-law. I ordered a BYU class. I'm so excited to start another class. Jared practiced the saxophone. We bought a self-teaching saxophone book. We're excited to give that a try. Olivia, Jared and I can read music so hopefully we'll be successful. I maintain the secret to basic music playing skills is consistent practice.

We hope all of you had a vary Merry Christmas!
