Christmas at Neil and Pam's


This was a fun Christmas with Neil and Pam's family. It's a lively household. We got there on Wednesday and that evening we went to a great Mexican restaurant in Jacksonville--just the adults.

On Christmas Eve I helped Pam wrap presents and there were a lot of them! Good they had a huge tree to put them under. We read the Christmas story from Luke, Matthew and 3rd Nephi and sang carols around the piano.



Christmas morning was spent unwrapping presents. Pam wrapped each child's in a unique wrapping paper.


Then Pam cooked this elaborate Christmas dinner with ham and twice baked potatoes and asparagus and a really fancy salad. Then we want on a hike/run in the fog. Then we played games.



We came home the next day tired but happy. Thanks to Neil and Pam for being such great hosts and letting us share in their festivities!

Did grandpa bring the ding-dongs? I remember that tradition. I love them at Christmas but don't really get a craving any other time of the year. -Carl
