Christmas Eve At The Larsen's

We met at Mom & Dad's house between 5 and 6 PM. It started snowing heavily a couple of hours before so we were all late. We ate together and then Dad read the story of Jesus' birth from the Bible. The kids acted out the story while Dad read. Then we all gathered around the tree and held hands while we sang Christmas carols. Afterward, we exchanged gifts. We all received great gifts, but the presents Mom & Dad received drew the most attention. Maren & Eric arranged to give Mom & Dad new cell phones (on their new family plan) and paid a couple of months for them as well. They were VERY surprised and excited. Welcome to the 21st Century, Mom & Dad! LOL! Everyone seemed to have a great time!
