Yesterday we celebrated Christmas with all of the Voogts. We started the party with egg nog, cookies and the Christmas story (the birth of Jesus), followed by a couple Christmas songs. Rebecca is not a fan of singing in a group. So she wouldn't join in. And she was adamant that Mommy not sing either. But she sang plenty of solos for everyone the last couple days :) Then we opened presents. Everyone got great gifts and we are thankful for a generous family. Rebecca loves her little piggy bank (thanks Uncle Kevin!!). She likes to put coins in. She will also have tons of fun with her cupcake set, Little People farm, pots and pans, books and balls.
After presents we had a yummy dinner of ham, sweet potato casserole, corn pudding, beans, fresh fruit salad and rolls. Once dinner was cleaned up we enjoyed peppermint stick buster bars for dessert.
We spent a little more time visiting before Justin's siblings had to be on their way.
We had a fun time celebrating with family. We will be saying goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma this morning. Rebecca will be sad about that. She has had a blast with them here for a few days.
We look forward to our last two Christmas celebrations on Saturday and Sunday.

Sounds like you guys had a good time and a great visit from Grandma and Grandpa V. I love Rebecca's sunglasses!
They are super cute. She got them from Justin's parents. She loves to wear them. We put them away for yesterday, but we'll have to get them back out. She likes to "be in the dark." :)
