Christmas Eve Afternoon at the Farm

When our children were growing up, we spent Christmas Eve with Bob's sister, Claudia and her family. Now that we are in Utah, we have spent it with Bob's brother, Bill and his family. This year it was at the farm where they are currently living.

When we got there, Valeria was busy making the most delicious food for us to snack on. Chiara had made a wonderful ham & cheese pastry that I just couldn't get enough of! And neither could Madi!








Bill made the kids wait until 1:30 p.m. to open their presents from us.....which seemed like an eternity to Emi. They then had to open them one at a time which they all complained about! Emi got a Nerf Blaster......Chiara got the book, "Inheritance"......Jade & Madi got some craft beads to make bracelets and necklaces......Sophie got a baby doll with accessories.











After opening presents.....it was time to PLAY!!!!!
Jade & Madi immediately began working on some bracelets.



Sophie had fun with Uncle Bob and the baby dolls.





John, Angelica & Vaughn came. And then Bobby, Holly, Elizabeth & Robert showed up. Grandma spent time reading and playing with Sophie.





Elizabeth LOVED being out with the animals, as did little Robert. They loved the goats, horses, chickens, ducks and the kitty.





















Everyone took a turn holding little Vaughn. I especially liked the pictures of Chiara with Vaughn. She is anxiously awaiting her new little brother in April.







It was fun to watch little Robert & Sophie playing with each other. They were having fun feeding everyone in the room AFTER they fed themselves!







All in all.....it was a fun Christmas Eve Afternoon at the Farm!
