After the snow fell, the temperatures dropped quickly and it was COLD. But, it was Christmas Eve, and tradition calls for the Strikes' recipe grilled shrimp, and Jared was assigned to be the shrimp griller.
So, he bundled up and grilled shrimp in the snow! It took a little longer for the grill to heat up, but it got done and the shrimp were delicious!
Christmas Eve was with the extended family including the Lesans, so there was a grand show with a variety of different musical numbers.
Cora joined the girls' chair
Vicki joined Claire and Dani for a girls musical number.
The 12 days of Christmas, including actions, led by Camie and Matt. Everyone did the actions - even Grandpa John got into the actions!
Jared and Dani found a moment under the mistletoe, orchestrated and photographed by Kate, of course.
We had a grand nativity scene with Kate as Mary.
and some lively Wise Men.
Food was great as always, and we enjoyed time with family and friends. We missed Papa - our hearts were heavy, but we had a lot of fun memories.
We opened matching Christmas pajamas late at Nana's before heading home to get set up for Christmas morning.
