Christmas with the Andersons


On December 23rd we went to Thomas's cousin's house for Christmas dinner. We enjoyed a prime rib for dinner along with mashed potatoes. Yummy! It was great to be with Thomas' side of the family. We have a tradition where Mrs. Anderson reads the Christmas story while Anna Grace acts it out with the manger scene. Then someone reads 'Twas the Night before Christmas'. After that we bless the food and eat.

We had a very nice night. It was great to be in Greenville and be able to spend time with Thomas's side of the family and mine.
