Meeting Brooklyn, Christmas Parties, and Christmas Eve

This is me meeting my first Richardson niece for the first time. She is so sweet, so beautiful, and she and Lydia are going to be the best of friends.



Richardson Family Cousin Gift Exchange

Pictures in Christmas PJs from Grandma Peggy Richardson





Santa always comes to the cousin gift exchange, so Lydia got to meet Santa twice this year. LUCKY!!!






The Nertz Nerds 3rd Annual Christmas Gift Exchange and Nertz Tournament.

We get together at the King's and have a gift exchange and then play Nertz. We had a great turn out with 9 teams, but we missed those who couldn't make it and hope to see them next year. Robert received a Stats Model action figure from Jeff Ouzts.



I got a great candle from Natalie Garner.



Team Richardson. We are too cute :)



Kaci and Natalie adopted Lydia into Team Indian Princess. She fit right in.



Team Babysitters. Hunter and Aaron watched the babies so that we could play. Don't worry, as far as I know they didn't use the guns around the babies.



Aaron got Lydia to go right to sleep. Masterful babysitting skills Aaron!!



Wilcken Christmas Book Reading and Bunko Night








Wilcken Christmas Eve (We were also able to go to the Johnston (Robert's Mom's family) Christmas Eve dinner for a little bit but unfortunately no pictures)

Me and Robert with the youngest 3 Wilcken grandkids



We eat a dinner like they would in Christ's time - fish, unleavened bread, etc. It used to be by just oil lamp, but as our family has expanded our lights have had to increase to include candles and the Christmas tree. The spirit of the night is still there.
