We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas at our Steve Gatten Family Reunion at some condos in Hope, ID on Pond Orielle Lake.
We were bummed to not have Christmas in our new home, but once we got there, it made me realize home is where the family is.
Christmas Eve we had a big yummy dinner with everyone, then separated to open our one present (PJ's), then met up before bed. We sat by the burning fire and sang Christmas songs as I played the guitar, watched the nativity story video by the church, filled Jesus' stocking with goals for the year, and then Papa read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' to all of the grandkids:
It was awesome.
After the children were nestled all snug in their beds, the adults watched Elf AND Christmas Vacation (tradition)!
Christmas morning, we opened gifts in our own condo with our little family:
Cade
Jay
Tyce
trying to eat his presents!
We then made a nice, big breakfast and enjoyed a relaxing day together.
So glad Christ was born, and that we are reminded each year of Him.
Merry Christmas!
