Week of Christmas, Christmas Eve - Cooking, Dinner, and Presents

Christmas Eve was a very busy day! Rebecca came over at 9:30 am and we worked all day! And before she got there I cooked 4 trays of gingersnaps. I barely had time to shower (don't worry I eventually did).
After mixing up the cheesy potatoes, we made sugar cookies. Rebecca cut them while I put the sprinkles on.
They turned out very cute if I say so myself.
We then made rolls. The recipe is a family one and very well loved.
Finally, at 6:00 pm it was time to rest and eat. Thanks to Reid's restaurant skills, we had a beautiful table.
The food was absolutely delicious! We had ham, turkey, cheesy potatoes, rolls, jello, and sweet potatoes and green beans.
Here we all are at the table. Genna sat in between Chad and me. We fed her green beans, sweet potatoes, a roll, and some turkey.
Genna then had fun opening up her presents! We played for a little bit more and then went to bed! Well, not before I filled up the stockings and watched 2 episodes of The Office with my brothers.
