Christmas Eve surprise
We spent Christmas Eve at Steve's parent's house this year. Steve and I were in charge of the Nativity, which was a fun experience. I brought my camera, but was so busy with the kids, I didn't have a chance to take any pictures. The kids were all dressed up and ready to start the nativity, when I realized we didn't have gifts from the wise men. Caitlyn told me they had it all taken care of. They had received Dave and Marcia's mission call in the mail that day, and had wrapped it up and told them that it hadn't come yet. So the wise men brought this wrapped box down and gave it to the baby Jesus. After we all sang Silent Night, we told mom and dad to open the gift...
they were really surprised that it was their mission call. They were called to the Washington DC Temple for a year. They'll leave in April. It was a really fun surprise.
