Christmas with Jesse's Family

On December 18th, all of Jesse's family (except Jeanna since she's in China) came to our house to celebrate Christmas a few days early. We had a great time eating dinner and playing cards that night and then everyone slept over and we got up on the 19th to Skype with Jeanna, open gifts, eat yummy food, and be together for Jesus' birthday!

Corban and Jesse opening a gift I actually really wanted for Corban- a flannel graph! It's got a board and a ton of things for me to cut out along with a book of which pieces go with which Bible stories. We just cut out the Christmas story pieces that day and told Corban and Hannah the Christmas story- don't think they were super impressed as the flannel pieces ended up all over the house soon after the story:) But it will be a great teaching tool for our kids- takes me back to Kindergarten Sunday School!
