Christmas with the Riehl's.

Sunday was a busy day!  We started with attending a Christmas church service!  The best Christmas program at church with the children doing all the acting and singing.  The worship team then lead in Christmas Carols!  Christmas is so pretty and special at church!

Austin was a wiseman!  He came and sat with me a little through the program because his head dress was making him be SO WARM.  Also, look at his fingers.  He's constantly twisting his fingers around these days.  It looks complicated.




The girls were the angles and Ashlyn said a narrative script.

I love that we have a photo opportunity at church!  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

After church we went straight to my parents.  Mom and Dad hosted the Riehls in their rec room on the farm.  Mom always has is nice and cozy!  We ate lunch there.  Exchanged gifts.  Played games and played with the cousins!

Always a feast is prepared and served!


That's a big toy remote control!


We gave Mom and Dad a Brevanda drink dispenser for the cabin!



Mom gave all the older boys funny boxers.



Ashlyn was given a bean bag chair.


Mom and dad picked names out of a basket and when your name was called out, you got to pick a money envelope.  The amounts were not all the same.  Fun!


The guys loved the boxers!



My parents had a piñata for the children.



We came home with our hearts full and bodies tired.  Ashlyn remembered she needed to read for school yet.  She tried to stay awake.


Christmas with the Riehl's was wonderful!!!!  Merry Christmas!
