Christmas Eve ...

December 24, 2015

We made the trip to High River for Christmas Eve ...

having our traditional evening meal ...

with part of our family ...

knowing that Ian and his family will be celebrating it as well ...

The kids did have a variation of the meal ...

omitting the warm potato salad and sauerkraut ...

but the rest of us enjoyed every morsel of all that was served ...

After diner we played a few rounds of cards ... a new and fun game ...

before Katie had to leave to go work for a couple hours ...

An early family gift was opened before Katie left for work ...

and it didn't take her long to disappear once the Nerf guns came out ...

the war was on ... no one was safe ...

Craig had built himself a robot ... and was showing us how it worked ...

we were surprised that he had made it walk ...

Great job Craig ... !!!

It was time to make the "Knight Family Fudge" ...

a tradition that usually only the males in the families make ...

we all took turns stirring the pot of goodness ...

as some of the gang had other things to do while waiting for the fudge ...

James had fun with Oma ... dressing her up and playing games ...

Nathan and grandpa helped Craig out with is invention ...

To be continued ...
