Christmas Eve is my favorite time of year. All of our family gets together with everyone wearing their matching pajamas. We have lots of yummy food and of course do our x-mas eve traditions such as bunko, white elephant, prime rib and Luke II. This year my mom was in charge of the christmas program which was awesome. She based it around a story that I believe was published by Elder Faust. It was about a little boy who gave his dad his Good Turn Scout Diary for x-mas. In each corner of the page it had the initial "GT" which stood for Good Turn. Every day he would cross those initial off for doing a "good turn" or some act of kindness/service for the day. The diary was full of the past years worth of "good turns". She in turn gave us each our own little "good turn diary" to keep and remember to do each day. It was very spiritual and helped us to remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Before going to bed Kalei wanted to write Santa a note. The past couple of years we have spent the night at G-mas & Pa's house so we do christmas morning together. Now that we are just a couple blocks away we decided to sleep at home and go over in the morning. So Kalei wanted to write Santa to let him know that he needed to take the presents to Grandma's house. It was so cute... Justin wrote it verbatam...this is what is says if you can't red it in the picture..."Dear Santa, Can you help me (Kalei). Can you take the presents to Grandmas house? We all love you. Thanks for the presents and for Uncle Hale. Kalei and Talan and Mom and Dad." Hale is my uncle that came to visit us from Chicago for Christmas.
