Christmas Eve

We had Christmas Eve at mom and dad's.  Me, Mel and Tiff brought all the food so dad didn't have to worry about anything. 
The food was great!
These guys ate in the garage and the Reives kids ate in the kitchen.
After dinner we played bingo.
The boys were great sports about sitting on the floor.
Everyone played the adult bingo this year.
Caitlyn helped grandma.  
Mom was getting overwhelmed and anxious.  Caitlyn is always so good with her and is able to help her calm down.
Mom was happy about getting hot chocolate for her prize. She loves to drink hot chocolate every night. 
I don't know why, but every year Earl is the last to get Bingo, ha!
I had fun taking pictures during Bingo.
I had Mel take one of me and Keith.
Tiff loved holding Judah during bingo.
He is so stinking cute!
After bingo we headed downstairs
Caitlyn was excited that Zariyah wanted to sit on her lap.
Mom likes to hold Caitlyn's hand and I think that helps her feel less stressed. 
We watched the Nativity.  Clara was so cute dancing around.
Dad shared his testimony of Christ.
Dad did the grab box.  That was so nice of him to do that.  He has so much on his plate, but he had a card and money in there for all of us. 
It was funny to see Elijah pushing Chelsey in there, ha!
Dad brought out a gift that Matt sent for mom.  It was a fart button and mom thought it was hilarious!
She pushed it over and over and laughed every time.
It was great to see her laugh!
Mel texted all us siblings and asked if we wanted to chip in for meals for mom and dad.  She offered to make all the meals and get them ready for the freezer so they can just pull them out and heat them up. We all agreed that was the perfect present and were so grateful that she was willing to make the meals.  She makes them dinner a lot and now they have a freezer full of meals. Thanks Mel!
Wyatt loved playing with Zariyah.  She was very interested in his airpods.
It was so cute.  He is so good with kids. 
Ofa is so sweet and always gives me a chance to hold Judah.  I love it.
Caitlyn wanted a turn too.
It was a great Christmas Eve. It's so fun to see the family grow and to have little ones again.
