Most families wouldn't do what we did this year for our family Christmas party. We broke from the norm and had breakfast for dinner. Only Bohmans would do that. We love breakfast food so much that all of us thought it would be great. Some of the in-laws weren't as keen on the idea, but it turned out nice. We also put on an impromptu nativity scene while Jesse read the story. Aimee happened to have a tote full of costumes. All the grandkids dressed up and put into practice their best acting skills. Kali was pretty excited to be Mary and Sadie got to be an angel. But as the story got going, we realized that we didn't have a baby Jesus, not even a doll because it was at Aimee's house and none of her boys own a doll. Thankfully Vivian was more than happy to fill in and even laid in a makeshift manger (AKA a tote full of blankets).
This was also the first year that we tried out what we called Grandma's fishing pond. This kids got to cast a reel over a blanket and Grandma and Grandpa helped them hook a present. Kali and Sadie got temple snow globes and Ashy got a sparkly bouncy ball. I think it turned out rather well. Kali couldn't stop talking about what a great gift it was.
