This morning we had our annual Davis/McKee family Christmas party. It was our turn to host it. We used the relief society room in the chapel. It turned out really well and we all had a fun time. After we ate the kids did a nativity program that Rachel put together. After that we had a Santa outfit that my dad was going to wear, but he couldn’t get the the pants to fit around his legs, so Matt played Santa. He stuffed my dad’s coat up his belly for the full effect. It was pretty funny.

After the party I had a relaxing evening as I pretty much napped on the floor as Nolan napped in his bed and Gracie & Gehrig watched Christmas cartoons.

At 5:30 we had our ward Christmas party. It was nice. We had dinner at the Rasmussen’s house with a few other couples. We were supposed to go to the chapel afterwards for dessert and a Christmas program. We didn’t go to that part. Although it the dinner was nice and I’m sure the Christmas program and dessert would be nice as well, I just don’t agree with an adults only ward Christmas party. It seems selfish to me. Christmas should be about family. Why exclude kids? I think this type of activity would be better suited for Valentines day. Or make it neighborhood activity. In my mind, Ward Christmas parties should involve the whole ward – that includes kids.
