Christmas Day

With Christmas Day falling on a Sunday, we decided to hold off on presents until after church. The choir was performing, I was on the organ today and I was accompanying most of the musical numbers, so we made sure to get to church early enough to practice with everyone before services started at 9AM. We were pleasantly surprised to see the McMackin's, including Donna, show up at our ward. Brianna and Brian even joined in with the choir as they are excellent sight readers. What fun!

Church Program:
Congregation "Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful"
Primary "Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus"
Vocal Solo, Susan Clifford "The Angels Came to Sing"
Ward Choir "I Wonder as I Wander"
Congregation "Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains"
Ward Choir "Joy to the World"
Duet, Jessie & Emma McLaughlin "Guard Him Joseph"
Ward Choir "Glory to the Newborn King"
Closing Hymn "Silent Night"

At Home
After church we had plans to stay inside with just the three of us, so we popped into those Santa PJ's and put our Christmas Dinner in the oven. We sorted out the gifts under the tree and took turns opening gifts.

John received speakers for his computer from Audrey. And a computer keyboard & wireless mouse, 2 pair of jeans, a white dress shirt, a tin of Almond Roca and a mini foosball set.

Audrey received the already mentioned red stapler (it was on her list!!), a Hallmark POTC ornament, Big Bang t-shirt, a mug set, Lord of the Rings Blue Ray set, some Xbox games, Scrubs DVD and a Tiggerific Disney Traditions figurine.
I received the Just Dance 3 for Wii from Audrey. John made new wood shelves for my china cabinets and give me some Pampered Chef cooking scoops, Zumba for Wii and a cream turtleneck. And when I thought I was done - there was another box that contained a Kindle Fire!
