After our delightful trip to Narni, we came home and gathered whatever snacks we had bought at a little snack store in Narni, and we brought it downstairs for our Christmas Eve gathering.
We had a little missionary Christmas Eve program. First, we sang Christmas songs. Then we had a Christmas quiz that came from the children's section of the Liahona, all about the first Christmas. Then each couple shared their favorite christmas a story. We all pretty much cried through all of those! Then sister Waddoups brought props and we reinacted the nativity story. The Wilkins were Mary and Joseph! I was an angel and Paul was one of the Kings. Sister Steuer was the star and elder Steuer was Samuel the Lamanite. President Waddoups was a shepherd and sister Waddoups was a donkey. It was a fun to be involved in the actual dressing up. Here are some of the cast members all dressed up!
Then we ate our Christmas Eve feast of oranges, apples, ritz crackers, bread and jam, and chocolate pumpkin cookies. We all got to bed fairly early after a wonderful day.
