For Christmas Eve we headed to the annual Barlow Party. This year it was at my parent's church building. We've gotten so big in numbers that one house doesn't hold us anymore. We had a wonderful dinner, a beautiful program, and a fun gift exchange.
We spent the night at Brian's parent's house this year. His youngest brother Stuart woke everybody up at 6:00 AM and we all opened up our presents. We were very blessed this year. I got lots of books and Brian got lots of shirts and model-building stuff.
After we finished at the Glad's house, we got ready and headed up to the Walker's house. They were just starting their gift opening (around 9:00) so we didn't miss much. It was great to see my siblings open the presents we got them. I made my brother Phil a huge crocheted blanket. I hope it keeps him warm.
Finally, for both of our parents, we (as in all the kids) got them a large framed picture of the temple they were married in. (St. George for my parent's, Salt Lake for Brian's) I think they loved those best of all.
My parents immediately hung theirs on the wall.
I was so proud of Brian for taking such good pictures.
We spent the rest of the day with Brian's family and ended up at his Grandparent's house for dinner and more family time.
Overall a very good Christmas.
